Lung Nodules

A lung nodule is a small mass that can show up as a spot on the lung during a CT scan or chest X-ray. The good news is that finding out you have a lung nodule is not cause for panic — fewer than 5% of all nodules are cancerous. Still, when should you worry about lung nodules if you have them?

CHRISTUS Lung Nodule Program

CHRISTUS Health lung nodule program is for anyone who has an abnormal chest X-Ray/CT Scan or has been diagnosed with lung cancer. Our lung nodule program starts with your diagnostic or baseline CT Scan.

From there we will do a complete evaluation including:

  • Diagnosis and recommendation within one week
  • Manage follow-up visits
  • Maintain ongoing collaborative communication with referring physicians
  • Coordinate care with multiple specialists from Hematology, Pulmonology, Radiation Oncology, and Thoracic Surgery
  • Provide patient education

Lung Screening

Lung screenings can detect lung cancer early, when it’s most treatable. If you have a family history of lung cancer or a history of smoking, fill out this form, and a CHRISTUS representative will reach out via phone or email within 1-2 business days.
