INFORMACIÓN AL PACIENTE
Interview with Dr. Willfredy Castaño Ruiz
Specialist in Thoracic Surgery
Dr. Willfredy Castaño Ruíz has over 13 years of experience in the treatment of lung and thoracic tumors, thoracic surgery for infectious diseases, and endoscopic airway management. He is consistently recognized for his excellence in performance and for his contributions to advancements in thoracic surgery.
A pulmonary nodule is a small mass of tissue in the lungs that, while often common, requires attention and specialized evaluation. It is frequently diagnosed during routine studies or as a result of specific screenings in patients with risk factors. It’s important to remember that not all nodules are cancerous; however, early investigation is key to ruling out potential complications. Treatment varies depending on the type and progression of the nodule and may range from regular monitoring to more advanced procedures. With the right guidance and timely diagnosis, you can trust that you will receive the appropriate treatment to safeguard your lung health.
