Advanced Bronchoscopy for Lung Nodule Diagnosis: Expert Dr. Kyle Hogarth Explains Why It Matters

[@lady1848]

Hi everyone I had all of this done. And yes I do have cancer lung cancer this September the 5th I am having surgery done. I don’t know if this is right or not but I’m going through surgery. May God be all of us that’s fighting cancer.🙏🏻🕊️

[@Mickey_Bauer]

Going next week for bronchoscopy, Dr. Hogarth definitely helped put my mind at easy.

[@rosemaryparker2567]

Had a broncosomy today nov 22 not to bad. Just a mild sore throat hardly a cough very little blood spit up. Yes a long time smoker age 65 red flags all around. Light smoker though. Have no symptoms exercise daily lift weights never out of breath,no pain little coughing. Suppose now a waithing game. Your my favorie doc to listen to about this,thanks.

[@RG-hf4et]

Just had a broncoscopy & everything went perfect. The mass found in my lung turned out to be an inflammatory mass, thank God. I have sarcoidosis. They also tested for molds & other things, too. Thank you, University of Penn. Great doctors! I had to drive 1.5 hours each way a few times & still need to go back for a pulmonoligist who is on a special team of doctors that doesn't happen locally where I live. Make the trip to see doctors who do this EVERY DAY, not a couple of times a year.

[@pixelpaxal]

Would you mind sharing the size of the nodule (inflammatory mass) in your case?

[@jacobhillanbrand7988]

U Penn is by me in Philly. Very good hospital

[@GRTakerTh]

Sarcoidosis usually develops small size under 3mm granulomas

[@shirleybulluck18]

We need Dr. Kyle here.😊

[@caroleecole3140]

So interesting .....just listening to Dr. Hogarth was inspirational! So glad that these advanced procedures are available to people who need them! MANY MANY BLESSINGS!!!!

[@Alan-cw8vy]

I'm going for a bronchoscopy on the 8th June. I thank Dr. Kyle for his experience and information. Best Friend material this Doctor!

[@pennydavies6253]

Oh my goodness! Thank you! I’m in Yorkshire, UK and really wish we were fortunate enough to have someone like you! I moved over 10 years ago, and haven’t seen a Consultant for 10 years (I was told told I worried too much about my lungs!!!!). I wasn’t able to see my original Consultant. My condition was serious to begin with, but now, it’s more than serious. Your patients are incredibly lucky.

[@eileengray8133]

I have adenocarcinoma lung cancer stage 4 they can't open me up because it spread to other part of my body! I had chemo and radiation now i am going for immune therapy! God bless everyone who has cancer!

[@armourspann1133]

Love his insight as human emotion, and through assessment of care and diagnosis!! Blessings Sir❤

[@LynnePrice-v4f]

Thank you so much for this explanation, you’ve relieved much of my anxiety. I’m an FNP, been a nurse for 62 years and I research everything so I already knew much of what you said. Somehow you were more comforting. I can only imagine the comfort you’ve provided millions with this video. Again, thank you. Ps my pet scan is scheduled for this Monday . 🥺😏

[@anya40]

Wow! I wish you were my Dr. Lung nodules, ground glass, heavy smoker. Been having CT scans every year for 5 years. Last year doctor said I had lung infection. 3 months later I asked if I had a lung infection, would an antibiotic help. He said I didn't have a lung infection. I reminded him that 3 months before he said that I did. So now I'm having these "cancer screenings" once a year. Time for another one and I'm just done. I can't get any straight answers from this guy. It's a merry-go-round and I'm jumping off.

[@timtrimble3591]

Thank you DR that was the best explanation of these things I've heard and I appreciate your time

[@brianfleury5935]

Having an experienced cytology team is extremely helpful in getting a solid diagnosis also.

[@allb4dinner962]

I just found out i have one in my lung im soooo scared but ready to fight /ty for this video this Dr really helped my nerves

[@deborahmclean3008]

Thank you Doctor for great pulmonary info!

[@yanli9296]

I just had a bronchoscopy at Mayo Clinic yesterday. Waiting for the result...

[@AustinReal-zz4ru]

My husband had adenoid carcinoma history now he has nodule on his lungs may the Lord help us to overcome it

[@kevinperkins6690]

A real good doctor. I would trust him 100% I should have come to you. I had a Bronchosopy it was Carcinoid Stage 1 but never had the lymph nodes biopsied. Unreal. The bloodwork is all jacked up. Now its under pathlogy board review. I wish I had of seen this earlier. I am so screwed.

[@ISBSb-or4tt]

Thank you so much for all this information, I’m on my 3 year remission from melanoma and being checked every time some new “bump” comes up here and there, , but the latest one is on one of my lungs and keeps growing, i am to be seen by a pulmonologist for a biopsy (I do not know what type he would suggest) so I really appreciate you educating the patients to ask the right questions.

[@LindaEgnatz-yx4pc]

I have hodgkins lymphoma. Your absolutely truthful. It took 3 months for a ent Dr ot take a biopsies. It was now stage 3. On my neck a lump wax and waned. I wish I had you for my doctor. They are so nonchalant. About my cancer. I had a stem cell transplant. I'm on a clinical trial. My choice. I will alway listen to your wonder honesty

[@AndreaKae27]

The ER NP flat out told me it looked like cancer then walked out of my room. I have my pet scan Friday

[@BarefootCrochet]

I’m a former smoker with a nodule they’ve been watching with ct scans. So the last one showed it had grown a bit and became speculated. So I had a pet scan which lit up the nodule. My pulmonologist said next is bronchoscopy but he has no clue when because I’m low priority and they’re busy. So it’s been 6 weeks and I still don’t know if it’s malignant. If it is malignant, he said no surgery because I also have advanced COPD. In addition, he said no genetic testing because they don’t do that for stage 1

[@pamreynolds6812]

You are amazing . Thank you so much for this video. For 2 years they are watching a very small 6 ml. Nodule and ground glass things now in both lungs . I already had lobectomy for small lode adenocarcinoma. I worry that they arent doing anything but ct scan every 6 mos. I am a patient at Fox Chase Cancer Center in phila. Should I go somewhere else?

[@MediFind]

Hi Pam - While we are unable to recommend a care plan for you (that's up to you and your doctors), Fox Chase does have an advanced bronchoscopy program like that described by Dr. Hogarth: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJLXc5uLa7GZo6c

[@pamreynolds6812]

@@MediFind thank you so much for that that puts me so much at ease

[@yolandamccabe7471]

I had a needle biopsy done on my left lung. Unfortunately the doctor had miss the mass. So my biopsy it didn't say what I have. Now the mass have grown but more so I don't have a choice to do another biopsy. Was told it had to be removed.

[@monicawilson896]

Good video. Thank you for making it.

[@tinamarie1831]

Great explanation of procedures! Do you recommend a bronchoscopy if a nodule in the lung has decreased in size from 3cm to 1.8cm to 1.0cm? That's where I stand right now and am concerned because I've read that even smaller nodules can be malignant.

[@luciususiholo6956]

It’s probably going away

[@RG-hf4et]

If it changes in size for the better it's an inflammatory nodule.

[@lindyjimmy]

Where do u practice??

[@mercedesmaldonado2418]

I would like an appointment please

[@MediFind]

Hi Mercedes - You can make an appointment with Dr. Hogarth's team at UChicago by calling [phone].

[@joem80003]

I think this has helped me too. I am going for one 14th,

[@bettyc4188]

If there are nodules in the lungs and you do a Bronchial biopsy, and you find there is cancer, do you do the surgery right then during the biopsy procedure, or does there have to be another appointment and separate surgery?

[@shellyante7149]

I can't get a answer for the pain after cabag surgery right lung pain is average 5 and when I caught sneeze or hiccup the pain is no doubt 10 . I finally got a low dose CT 4 days age and still not a word . I've asked for a asbestos specialist . But nothing .

[@kimharvey5754]

Where is he located

[@panatypical]

Having one of these procedures on November 9th. However, had a needle biopsy of the right lung on October 23rd. Things were scheduled when they could be scheduled. Got a partial pneumothorax from the needle biopsy, it corrected on its own. Have already had an upper left resection 4 years ago. I'd like to just get zapped if I can....

[@jonistiller3162]

❤ Excellent explanation

[@pamreynolds6812]

But I had a nodule on other lung that was adenocarcinoma so why wouldnt it be for this one ?

[@sabrinamartinez9787]

Where are he located at?

[@jefferyyounce5372]

I'm not a medical Doctor or geneticists. I read (researched) where if there over 9cm do a biopsy and have a MRI every 6 months to a year to see if they have grown to include.

[@margaretdoyle4618]

Bit concerned having had a radial EBUS ultrasound with needle aspiration returning negative result wit PET CT saying there is something there. So now having a navigational bronchoscopy. Not sure that this will yield a reliable result this time.

Thanks doctor

Every year a ct scan they say one nidule looks like it is adnocarcinoma i had one remived why wont the dovsomething .

[@pavelboico9283]

Fine needle biopsy is fine as long as you run ngs on the sample

[@kaelynkociemba4669]

I’m having trouble finding a doctor who understands what I’m asking for when I ask for an advanced bronchoscopy rather than the recommended biopsy through my chest. I’ve already had a basic bronchoscopy, but they were unable to take biopsy sample with that method. My diseased area is at the periphery of my lung and they said they wouldn’t be able to reach. What should I be asking for? Robotic Assisted Bronchoscopy? Endobronchial Ultrasound? Thank you!

[@Christynmaine]

I’m confused. I have a 5mm calcified nodule and calcified granulomas (both lungs). So why are they scheduling me for a PET scan?

[@karenimran3349]

I had a pet scan on February 1st after two CT scans. On the CT scans it showed I had a lung nodules, after getting a PET scan it didn’t light up as cancer. I’ve had a conversation with the surgeon who tells me surgery is risky. I have a 6 mm ground glass nodule which hasn’t changed in size since the CT scan in August and December. I like you was concerned about getting a PET scan, but I guess it’s done as to get an in-depth look at what’s going on. Hope all goes well.

[@sheltermutts4185]

Does taking a biopsy this way cause cancer to spread via bleeding, etc.? Thanks so much for your video. I am certain I will seek this method for my newly found 8.6mm nodule with a “malignant growth rate” over the past 6 months.

[@divyaahuja1327]

How r u feeling now can u plz tell me about ur nodes

[@sheltermutts4185]

After several delays from Covid I’ll be having a lung resection to remove the nodule which have caused no symptoms

[@sharonpeterson1803]

I loved your explanation. I am a 5 year kidney cancer survivor. Before my surgery, I had a CT scan of my lungs and 3 nodules were found. I had a needle biopsy of one nodule and the findings were scar tissue. Since Feb. 2017 I have had 9 CT scans monitoring these nodules. 2 more have appeared over 5 years with the largest being 7 mm, the smallest 2 mm. I am scheduled to have another CT scan in Nov. 2022 but I’m afraid that all of this radiation is going to create lung cancer! I’m considering contacting my pulmonologist and telling him I don’t want another CT scan. What are your thoughts?

I'm an 11-year breast cancer survivor, with 11 years of alcohol sobriety. Just 2 days ago, I went to hospital for an X-ray of possible ammonia. A large mass size of "grapefruit " or 10cm. Found in the upper right lung with ammonia/infection showing. Doc wants to do a needle biopsy similar to what I had done to my breast.. No way No how, just NO .. So here are "my own " options either he agrees to do a bronchoscopy or I, take up drinking again and live out whatever I have left of my life pickled. This doctor told me it's iffy getting enough cells for a good read. But you're here saying it's almost better. I believe he's a rookie or likes causing unwanted pain!!
