Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy and Interventional Pulmonary Medicine

A modern bronchoscopy suite with fluoroscopy is available for ambulatory and inpatient bronchoscopic procedures.

Fellows have ample opportunities to develop skills in performing bronchoalveolar lavage, endobronchial and transbronchial lung biopsies in addition to endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) directed procedures using both linear and radial instruments in diagnostic evaluation and staging in patients with suspected intrathoracic malignancy.

Training in procedures such as PleurX catheter placement, talc pleurodesis, tracheal dilation, rigid bronchoscopy, thoracoscopy, endobronchial stenting, balloon bronchoplasty, argon photocoagulation (APC) and cryotherapy are performed when appropriate under the direction of board certified interventional pulmonology faculty. Percutaneous tracheostomies are performed at the bedside on patients with chronic respiratory failure under bronchoscopic guidance at both SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital and Mercy Hospital St. Louis.

In addition, fellows gain experience in a number of other invasive diagnostic and therapeutic techniques used in pulmonary medicine such as pleuroscopy, pleural biopsy and the placement and management of chest tubes.

stage 3 lung cancer spread to brain :: Article Creator Tracking Lung Cancer's Path It's common for lung cancer to metastasize, or spread. In fact, 57 percent of lung cancer patients are diagnosed when the cancer has already metastasized, according to an editorial in the Annals of Cancer Epidemiology. [1] Lung cancer also has a preferred path, traveling most often to the bones, brain, adrenal glands, and liver. [2] [3] Why Does Lung Cancer Spread So Easily? Lung cancer may metastasize readily because the lungs are a cellular traffic hub of the body. "The job of the airway is to deliver oxygen to all of your cells, so it's easy for cancer cells to get from the airway lining to the blood and spread to other organs," says Paul Bunn, MD, a professor of medical oncology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Aurora. Why Do Lung Cancer Cells Spread to Certain Organs? "Some organs produce a cellular si...

stage 4 cervical cancer :: Article Creator Uterine Cancer Stages If you get a diagnosis of uterine cancer, your doctor may tell you what stage it is. It's a way to figure out how advanced your cancer is and what kind of treatment works best. Before your doctor decides your stage, they'll use tests, such as a biopsy and ultrasound, to find what type of uterine cancer you have. Also called the womb, the uterus is a pear-shaped organ where babies grow. There are two kinds of uterine cancer. Endometrial cancer, the most common form, begins in the inner lining of the uterus. Uterine sarcoma is a rare type that starts in the muscles in the uterus or the surrounding tissue. Doctors use two ways to decide the stage of uterine cancer. One is a method created by the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO). The other is the American Joint Committee of Cancer TNM staging system. The two methods are almost the same. Both sy...

stage 3 pancreatic cancer :: Article Creator Know The Symptoms: Pancreatic Cancer This year, approximately 1,000 Alabama residents will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. With a trending increase in cases for patients under the age of 55, experts at the University of Alabama at Birmingham Department of Surgery say it is important for individuals to familiarize themselves with common signs and symptoms associated with pancreatic cancer to reduce their risk and identify key indicators of the disease. "Pancreatic cancer is known for its reputation of being harder to detect in its earliest stages," said J. Bart Rose, M.D., an associate professor in the UAB Division of Surgical Oncology. "Fortunately, there are still several ways you can reduce your chances of pancreatic-related illness and monitor your overall well-being for any sudden changes." Lifestyle changesThe pancreas is a vital organ to both the endocrine and digestive ...
