Pulmonary Nodule

Lung nodule evaluations are crucial when working proactively against lung cancer, but some patients face disparities in managing them, according to a research statement published in American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care.

The FDA has granted 510(k) clearance to a robotic navigated bronchoscopy system that will aid in diagnosing patients with lung cancer, according to a manufacturer-issued press release.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy with cone-beam CT imaging showed promise for diagnosing central, distal-airway and peripheral pulmonary lesions in a single-center study presented at the CHEST Annual Meeting.

Use of an artificial intelligence program detected lung nodules up to 1 year before their detection by radiologists, researchers reported at the virtual European Respiratory Society International Congress.

An incidental lung nodule program detected early-stage lung cancer with higher frequency than most low-dose CT programs, according to a poster presented at the virtual 2021 ASCO Annual Meeting.

A newly developed machine learning-based model successfully predicted risk for malignancy in patients with multiple pulmonary nodules, researchers reported in Clinical Cancer Research.
