Bronchoscopy in Odessa: The Importance of Early Diagnosis
Last year, approximately 300 bronchoscopy examinations were conducted in Odessa's medical facilities. This enabled timely identification of 45 suspected cases of oncological pathology and referral of patients for further consultations and treatment.
Bronchoscopy is an examination of the trachea and bronchi using an endoscope, which helps detect respiratory organ cancers at early stages. It is recommended to undergo bronchoscopy routinely after the age of 50, even in the absence of complaints.
Bronchoscopy is included in the state medical guarantees program and is performed free of charge upon referral from a family doctor or treating physician, also for patients undergoing inpatient treatment.
Modern bronchoscopy equipment has been purchased for medical institutions in Odessa using municipal budget funds. You can undergo bronchoscopy for free by making a prior appointment at the following addresses:
- Consultative and Diagnostic Center No. 6 - 26a Dobrovoltsiv St. (Marshal Hovorov);
