Lung Cancer Services
St. Luke's Lung Cancer Screening Program
St. Luke's Lung Cancer Screening Program has been named a Center of Excellence by the Lung Cancer Alliance, the leading organization dedicated to saving lives and advancing research by empowering those living with and at risk for lung cancer. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death, with more people dying of lung cancer than breast, colon and prostate cancers combined. Early screening can save your life. See if you're eligible for a lung cancer screening.
Electromagnetic Navigation Bronchoscopy
An electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy allows us to create 3-D virtual maps of the lungs and sample smaller nodules to help diagnose patients at much earlier stages without more invasive surgical biopsies. The same technology also allows us to help the radiation oncologist plan radiation treatment with the placement of markers around smaller tumors.
For more information or if you have questions, please call Pulmonary Associates at 314-682-3630.
The recovery was amazing. You hurt and they bring you down and take care of you. They just make you feel so good and they're so attentive ‒ no matter what you ask for. It was so comforting. I'll never forget it.
