Conference on Pulmonary Nodule PART 1: Screening for bronchial cancer. Dr. Sébastien GUIGARD, thoracic surgeon at the Belledonne Clinic - ELSAN Group. For many decades, bronchial cancer was diagnosed based on clinical warning signs, necessarily at an advanced stage, with an extremely poor prognosis. The screening scanner has finally proven its beneficial nature not only on diagnosis and treatment but especially on cure. We will specify its indications and modalities. Pulmonary nodules, whether discovered on a screening scanner or by chance on the many examinations carried out today for multiple indications, represent a new diagnostic and management problem for the clinician. We will specify the pathway that can be proposed in the initial management and the assessment of these increasingly frequently discovered anomalies.
