The Lung Nodule Clinic is a dedicated specialty service within the Asian Institute of Respirology (AIR) designed for the early detection, monitoring, and management of "spots" on the lungs. Its primary goal is to determine whether a lung nodule—often found incidentally during a routine X-ray or CT scan—is benign (harmless) or a potential early-stage malignancy..
Multidisciplinary Management
A multidisciplinary clinical service dedicated to the evaluation, diagnosis, risk stratification, and management of pulmonary nodules detected through imaging studies. It operates through a collaborative team of pulmonologists, thoracic surgeons, radiologists, and oncologists to ensure accurate assessment and timely intervention. The clinic utilizes evidence-based protocols, including imaging surveillance, advanced diagnostic procedures, and biopsy techniques when indicated, to differentiate benign from malignant lesions and guide appropriate treatment planning.
