CYSTS AND TUMORS IN THE LUNGS: HOW TO TREAT THEM

Cysts and tumors in the lungs can be benign or malignant, and their diagnosis requires accurate medical tests. Their treatment depends on their size, nature, and location, as well as the patient's general health.

How are they treated:

  1. Monitoring: In cases of benign cysts or small tumors, monitoring with regular exams is enough to ensure that they do not grow or change.
  2. Surgical Removal: For larger tumors or cysts that are causing symptoms or are malignant, surgical removal is the best solution and can be performed through minimally invasive methods, such as robotic or laparoscopic surgery.
  3. Robotic Surgery: Offers great precision and minimizes the risk of complications, allowing the patient a faster recovery and less pain.
  4. Biopsy: In case of doubt, a biopsy may be performed to confirm the nature of the tumor before surgery.

 

Recovery and Follow-up:

After the cysts or tumors are removed, it is important to continue follow-up with your doctor to make sure the condition does not return.
