About the Lung Nodule Clinic
The Lung Nodule Clinic at East Alabama Pulmonology identifies, evaluates and treats lung nodules.
Care at the Lung Nodule Clinic begins when a low-dose CT scan finds a lung nodule. From there, your case is fast-tracked for review so your care team can quickly recommend the best next steps.
Our team works closely with other specialists to catch lung cancer at its earliest stages. This multidisciplinary approach helps turn concerns into answers faster.
Your Lung Nodule Clinic care team includes:
- Pulmonologists
- Cardiothoracic surgeons
- Your primary care provider
Depending on your results, your care plan may include:
- Additional testing
- Minimally invasive biopsy with the Ion Robotic Bronchoscopy platform
- Surgery
- Chemotherapy
- Radiation therapy
If a lung cancer diagnosis is confirmed, your clinic team can help connect you with an oncologist to discuss treatment.
