Lung Cancer treatment at VIR Chicago focuses on providing comprehensive, minimally invasive options to diagnose and manage the disease. Our team of specialists uses advanced techniques to ensure precise diagnosis and effective treatment, enhancing patient outcomes and quality of life.
Biopsy
Biopsy is a critical diagnostic tool for lung cancer, involving the removal of tissue samples from the lungs to determine the presence and type of cancer cells. At VIR Chicago, we use image-guided techniques to perform biopsies safely and accurately, ensuring a reliable diagnosis to guide treatment planning.
Bronchoscopy Evaluation
Bronchoscopy Evaluation is a procedure that allows our doctors to examine the inside of the airways and lungs using a thin, flexible tube with a camera. This evaluation helps detect abnormalities, take tissue samples, and assess the extent of lung cancer. VIR Chicago’s state-of-the-art bronchoscopy services provide detailed insights into lung health, aiding in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
Surgery Evaluation
Surgery Evaluation is an essential step in determining the best course of action for lung cancer treatment. Our team evaluates the patient’s overall health and the stage of cancer to decide if surgery is a viable option. This comprehensive evaluation ensures that each patient receives the most appropriate and effective treatment strategy.
Ablation
Ablation is a minimally invasive procedure used to destroy cancerous tissue in the lungs. Techniques such as radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and microwave ablation use heat to target and eliminate tumors. VIR Chicago employs these advanced ablation methods to offer patients an effective alternative to traditional surgery, with shorter recovery times and fewer risks.
