Diagnosis: Understanding Your Condition

Accurate diagnosis is the first crucial step in managing and treating thoracic conditions effectively. A precise assessment helps determine the best course of action, whether it involves monitoring, medical treatment, or surgical intervention.

Marco Scarci utilizes advanced diagnostic techniques to ensure precise identification of thoracic diseases, including:

  • Chest X-Ray: A basic yet effective tool for detecting abnormalities in the lungs and chest cavity.

  • CT Scan (Computed Tomography): Provides detailed cross-sectional images of the chest for better evaluation of tumors, infections, or other conditions.

  • MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging): Useful for assessing soft tissue involvement in thoracic conditions.

  • PET Scan (Positron Emission Tomography): Often used to detect cancerous activity and assess the spread of malignancies.

  • Bronchoscopy: A flexible tube with a camera is inserted into the airways to inspect lung tissues and collect samples.

  • Mediastinoscopy: A procedure to examine lymph nodes in the central chest area.

  • Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS): Combines bronchoscopy with ultrasound imaging to evaluate lymph nodes and detect lung cancer.

  • Needle Biopsy: A minimally invasive procedure where a sample is taken for laboratory analysis.

  • Surgical Biopsy: Involves obtaining tissue samples via a minor surgical procedure.

  • Genetic & Molecular Testing: Identifies specific mutations in cancer cells to tailor targeted treatments.

With extensive experience in thoracic surgery and diagnostics, Marco Scarci ensures that each patient receives an accurate and comprehensive assessment. Utilizing state-of-the-art technology and a patient-centered approach, he provides clear guidance on the next steps toward effective treatment.
