INDIANAPOLIS—As World Cancer Day approaches on Sunday, February 4, Community Health Network celebrates the advancements in technology that offer hope in the battle against cancer.
This includes a new high-tech procedure for early diagnosis of lung cancer. Community Health Network surgeons have performed more than 100 lung biopsies using the Ion Endoluminal System.
This is a robotic-assisted procedure that uses an ultra-thin catheter to access parts of the lung previously unreachable by standard biopsy. It can reach small lesions in all parts of the lung and even difficult-to-reach nodules outside the airways. The minimally invasive procedure is key in early diagnosis of lung cancer which can result in improved outcomes and survival rates.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death is the U.S. The American Cancer Society estimates there were nearly 237,000 new lung cancer cases in 2022. According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), by the time lung cancer is diagnosed in about half of the patients, the cancer has already spread beyond the initial tumor.
In the fall of 2022, Community Health Network invested in the Ion Endoluminal System bringing it to Community Heart and Vascular Hospital. Thoracic surgeons and pulmonologists were trained for robot-assisted lung biopsies. The team is celebrating more than 100 Ion procedures, offering hope to patients through early detection of lung cancer.
Community Health Network encourages everyone to know their risk of cancer. This can start with simple health risk assessments available at eCommunity.com.
