Bronchial cancer diagnosis at MDI Clinic

With routine fluorography, the disease can be detected in its final stages. Specialists perform low-dose CT scans to identify small neoplasms. At risk are patients after 50 who have been smoking for many years. Timely diagnosis will cure patients within a short time.

After registering with MDI Clinic, the patient has a counseling session. The diagnostician examines and inquires about complaints. The specialist writes out a referral to conduct a detailed clinical and biochemical blood and urine tests. Biopsy and positron emission tomography are performed. The doctor then establishes an accurate diagnosis and prescribes a treatment regimen.

Performing surgical procedures

Minimally invasive interventions include the thorascopic method. Tubes with special instruments, a light source and a video camera are inserted into the incisions. Bronchoplastic surgery is performed in the center part to remove part of the bronchi and lung. Open intervention is necessary for resection of ribs and parts of vertebrae.

Administration of chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is aimed at shrinking the tumor. After a session of procedures, surgical oncologists remove the affected parts. Additional chemotherapy is given to prevent metastasis to the liver area.

Radiation therapy

• inoperable non-small cell cancer;
• some tumors that need palliative care;
• bronchial cancer that has spread to the main vessels, esophagus.

MDI Clinic oncologists use targeted or immune therapies when genetic mutations are identified. The result is 99% above expectations.
