CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS (News Release) - Shoreline now offers a new minimally invasive procedure to detect lung cancer earlier using the Ion Robotic Navigational Bronchoscopy. This groundbreaking technology allows for precise biopsies with fewer risks, making early intervention possible.

“Often times people learn of their lung cancer after it has already spread," said Dr. Rajeev Narang, pulmonologist. "This changes that. Most importantly, our patients have a safer alternative with this minimally invasive approach.”

Lung cancer is the second most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S. We're proud to bring this innovative technology to the Coastal Bend, providing advanced care right here in our community.
