In this video you will learn about lung nodules and lung cancer from David Cowden, MD from the Lung Nodule Surveillance and Diagnostics Program of Banner Western Region. • Lung nodules are prevalent, whether identified incidentally through imaging performed for other reasons, or intentionally through Low Dose CT screening programs. • Lung cancer remains the number one cause of cancer-related deaths. • The difference in outcomes for early vs advanced stage lung cancer is staggering, yet, nationally, we only screen approximately 4% of patients at risk. • Early detection and treatment remain our most impressive tool for achieving cure. • Lung Nodule Surveillance and Diagnostics Program of Banner Western Region • Program Mission: Early detection of lung cancer through identification of high-risk CT imaging characteristics as noted either through incidental findings or Low-Dose CT screening for lung cancer. • Success within our program is enhanced through a combination of personnel, coordination, and advanced technology. • When referred into our program, patients will benefit from upfront and follow-through coordination by our dedicated Nurse Navigator along with an expedited review by an expert multidisciplinary panel of physicians including our dedicated chest radiologist, interventional pulmonologist, and our two minimally invasive oncologic thoracic surgeons. • Within 48 hours of referral (same day on any request), patients will undergo clinical assessment and individualized diagnostic plans which may incorporate our advanced techniques for simultaneously diagnosing and staging lung nodules of any size, in any region of the lung, utilizing Robotic Bronchoscopy, Navigation Bronchoscopy, and Endobronchial Ultrasound. • This is the only program in northern Colorado coordinating leading-edge robotic technology with fellowship-trained specialists in each discipline. • Following NCCN Guidelines, our quality metrics excel with regard to: • -Patient safety • -Accuracy in diagnosis • -Efficiency in minimizing additional or unnecessary downstream testing • -Timeliness in point of first contact to definitive treatment (avoiding stage shifting) • -Patient database management • -Patient satisfaction • Speaker: David Cowden, MD- Medical Director of Pulmonary Medicine and Medical Director Lung Nodule Surveillance and Diagnostics Program • Board Certifications: • Critical Care Medicine American Board of Internal Medicine, 2016 • Pulmonary Disease American Board of Internal Medicine, 2016 • Banner Health is committed to follow up with you after each appointment to keep you informed of the care plan. • Banner Health: https://www.bannerhealth.com • BMG Specialty Referral for Evaluation in Northern Colorado Email: [email protected] • Schedule Appointment: https://doctors.bannerhealth.com/prov... • Phone: 970-820-6702 or 970-820-6704 • Fax: 970-237-3790 • #BannerHealth #lungcancer #lungcancertreatment
