Lung Health and the Role of Your Pulmonologist - 02/15/22 - Lung Cancer Living Room™

Join Danielle as she speaks with pulmonologist Kyle Hogarth, MD, FCCP about issues related to the role of the pulmonologist in lung cancer. They focus on a wide range of topics including: incidental nodule findings, thoughts on the often anxiety-inducing "watch and wait" period after finding a small nodule, different ways to collect tissue and ensuring that the right amount of tissue for comprehensive genomic testing, how to make sure you are properly staged and why it matters, EBUS and navigational bronchoscopy to pull lesions and lymph nodes, information on a new test that tells whether you're a risk for local recurrence after surgery, pulmonary rehabilitation and "prehab" ahead of surgeries or radiation, ways to monitor or support your lung health (oximeter, condenser). In addition, Dr. Hogarth shares information on exciting new practices and clinical trials where the pulmonologist can deliver treatment directly to the tumor using ablation, localized chemotherapy, or inserting virus at the tumor site to stimulate immune response. He emphasizes that today's techniques and therapies are likely different and more effective now than they were for patients even just two years ago! This episode is jam-packed with so many new reasons for hope for lung cancer patients everywhere.
