Lungs & Respiratory System

These disorders cause breathing difficulties by impairing the functioning of the lungs and other respiratory organs and tissues.

3-D imaging technologies can help guide the removal of a sample tissue for biopsy, making in-depth tissue analysis easier and more accurate.

A

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)
ARDS is a potentially fatal form of respiratory failure characterized by low blood oxygen levels. Learn about symptoms and treatment.
Adult Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis, an inherited disease, causes a buildup of thick mucus in the lungs. Early detection and better therapies help people live longer.
Anesthesia for Organ Transplant
Organ transplants, including heart, liver, kidney and pancreas, require highly specialized anesthesiology skills.

B

Bronchoscopy
In this routine test, a physician slips a flexible device called a bronchoscope through your nose or mouth, down your throat and into your lungs.

C

D

Dyspnea with Advanced Cancers
Dyspnea is a medical term that describes shortness of breath, and a feeling of starving for oxygen. Learn about symptoms and treatment.

E

F

Fluid Around the Lungs (Pleural Effusion)
Pleural effusion is a condition in which fluid builds up in the space between the lung and the chest wall. Learn about symptoms and treatment.

I

Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)
Interstitial lung disease refers to a group of diseases that irritate, inflame or scar the lungs and supporting air sacs.

L

Lung Cancer in Nonsmokers
While smoking remains the most common cause of lung cancer, you can develop the disease if you smoked very little or never smoked at all. Genetics are becoming an important key to treating these cancers.

N

Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Smoking puts you at greater risk for developing non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This is the most common type of lung cancer. Early diagnosis is key.
