Hartford Hospital doctors among first in state to utilize new lung cancer detection and staging technology
June 29th, 2009
Hartford Hospital is one of only two medical facilities in the state utilizing a new technology that allows for minimally-invasive detection of lung cancer and assessment of its various stages. The endobronchial ultrasound system makes biopsies safer, and offers a less invasive alternative to mediastinoscopy – the surgical removal of lymph nodes for testing.
