Lung Cancer Screening and Solitary Pulmonary Nodule Monitoring Treatment Office
In the context of prevention and early diagnosis, the 2nd Oncology Department of IASO General Clinic operates a specialized Lung Cancer Screening and Solitary Pulmonary Nodule (SPN) Monitoring Treatment Office.
In a state-of-the-art medical and technological environment, and in collaboration with Pulmonologists, Interventional Radiologists and Thoracic Surgeons, a comprehensive monitoring program for people at high risk for lung cancer was implemented.
The prevention of lung cancer is of paramount importance and the low-dose CT scan of the chest is an important weapon in this effort that has been officially incorporated in screening programs. The patients are subjected to a thorough lung examination by receiving an amount of radiation as small as that of a simple chest X-ray. The findings and their significance are also thoroughly evaluated by a qualified physician.
The priority of our treatment office is to provide comprehensive information to active and former smokers and to help them understand the necessity of monitoring despite the absence of symptoms. The program implemented is fully compliant with the new guidelines and the present-day requirements.
Solitary Pulmonary Nodule
The appearance of nodular shadowing in the lungs of people with a history of smoking is common after the introduction of LDCT screening. More specifically, there is a lesion smaller than 3 cm that remains asymptomatic and is an incidental finding during the preventive examination. The detection of such nodules is frequent, and their assessment is a complex procedure that is necessary in order for the possibility of malignancy to be ruled out. In the case of such a suspected lesion, an early surgical intervention ensures a cure and a good quality of life.
The Treatment Office is run by Ms. Angeliki Lazaratou, MD, MSc, Pulmonologist - Tuberculosis Specialist, Associate of the 2nd Oncology Department
Operating days and hours: Thursday, 13:00 – 17:00.
