LUNGCANCERWith the formation of the Lung Cancer Group, the

Institute also collaborates with the St. Luke's Cancer

Institute in cancer management for the early detection

and treatment of malignancy.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in

the United States, with over 150,000 deaths annually

attributed to this disease. At present, the best hope of

curing lung cancer is detecting it as early as possible.

Recent studies indicate that if a person is at risk, Low-

Dose CT Multi-Detector Screening can detect tiny spots

in your lungs before these could be seen in a regular

chest X-ray. These tiny spots or nodules may be an early

stage of lung cancer.

AEROSOLTHERAPYAerosol therapythis

form of therapy deliversmedications directly into thelungs using nebulizers ormetered-dose inhalers.Specific medications that may

be administered throughaerosol therapy includeantibiotics (these fightrespiratory infections),bronchodilators (these relaxsmooth muscles in the airwayand may assist with airwayclearance), and anti-inflammatories (these help toopen airways narrowed byinflammation and swelling).

HIGHFLOWOXYGENTHERAPYHigh-flow oxygen

therapy to assure thatthere is enough oxygen inthe blood to provide foryour body's needs. Thereare many diseases whereoxygen therapy may beuseful. Oxygen therapy isused to normalize theoxygen level in bloodduring sleep, rest, activityand during acuteillnesses in the hospital.

INTERMITTENTPOSITIVEPRESSUREBREATHINGIntermittent positivepressure breathing (IPPB)a technique used toprovide patients withshort-term or intermittentmechanical ventilation to

augment lung expansion,deliver aerosolmedication, or assistventilation. It improvesthe cough mechanismand prevents collapse ofthe lungs. IPPB iseffective in preventingpost-operative pulmonarycomplications.

INCENTIVESPIROMETRYIncentive spirometry or sustained maximal

inspirationa technique designed to mimic natural

sighing or yawning by encouraging the patient to take

long, slow, deep breaths. This is accomplished by

using a device that provides patients with visual orother positive feedback when they inhale at a

predetermined flow rate or volume and sustain the

inflation for a minimum of 3 seconds. This procedure

helps improve overall lung function.
