Frequently Asked Questions

EBUS (Endobronchial Ultrasound) is a minimally invasive procedure that helps doctors accurately diagnose and stage lung cancer and other diseases without major surgery.

Yes. Untreated sleep apnea can lead to high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and daytime fatigue. Early diagnosis with polysomnography and treatment with CPAP can prevent complications.

No. Bronchoscopy is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation. Most patients tolerate it well and can return home the same day.

ILD often requires a combination of pulmonary function tests, high-resolution CT scans, and cryobiopsy for accurate diagnosis.

Yes. Pulmonary rehabilitation programs significantly improve breathing capacity, reduce hospitalizations, and enhance quality of life for COPD patients.
