Clinic for Pulmonary
Oncology

The Day Hospital for Systemic Oncological Therapy of Bronchial Carcinoma was established in 2003 and fully renovated in 2025, with the aim of providing patients with a modern, safe, and comfortable treatment space. It is organized as a functional and pleasant unit, tailored to the needs of oncology patients and contemporary healthcare standards.

This unit conducts systemic treatment of bronchial cancer using chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy, in accordance with current domestic and international professional recommendations. The therapeutic approach is individualized, with continuous monitoring of treatment effects and safety, as well as active participation of a multidisciplinary team in decision-making.

A special segment of the work is focused on the prevention, early recognition, and management of adverse effects of oncological therapy, with the aim of preserving safety, continuity of treatment, and quality of life for patients.

The day hospital also provides the preparation of complete medical documentation for the approval of modern therapies by the relevant authorities.

During the previous year, more than 9,000 services were provided, and between 40 and 60 patients are managed daily. This volume of work reflects a high level of trust and commitment to quality and responsible patient care, as well as the significance of the unit in the system of bronchial cancer treatment.

The Bronchological Diagnostic Cabinet is the most advanced center for respiratory endoscopy in our country and one of the most modern in the region.

In addition to standard diagnostic endoscopic procedures for sampling materials for pathohistological, cytopathological, and bacteriological analysis (fiber bronchoscopy, transbronchial biopsy, transbronchial puncture, bronchial biopsy, catheter biopsy, bronchial brushing, and bronchoalveolar lavage), the cabinet also performs bronchoscopies with linear and radial endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) as well as autofluorescent bronchoscopy (AFI – Autofluorescence Imaging) and narrow band bronchoscopy (NBI – Narrow Band Imaging), which play a role in the detection of pre-malignant lesions within the bronchial tree and the detection of pathological tumor vascularization.

Regarding interventional endoscopic procedures, the following are performed: laser resection of tumor changes in the bronchial tree, electrocauterization, argon plasma coagulation, brachytherapy, sclerotherapy of tracheobronchial fistulas, and cryotherapy. All bronchoscopic procedures are performed under analgosedation, while interventional procedures are conducted under general anesthesia, and a modern high-frequency jet ventilator (High Frequency Jet Ventilation) is used for patient ventilation.
