Evaluation of Lung Nodules / Masses
Lung cancer is the second most common cause of cancer in the United States for both men and women, and most common cause of cancer related death. The relatively asymptomatic nature of lung cancer can lead to higher incidence of advanced disease at time of diagnosis, with typically worse prognosis. As a result, 5-year survival rate for lung cancer patients in general is only 15%, whereas survival for patients diagnosed with early stage disease who undergo surgical resection is 85%.
Accordingly the US Preventive Services Task Force recommends low-dose CT scanning of the chest as a screening tool for those individuals at risk for developing lung cancer.
The Texas IPS Lung Nodule/Lung Cancer Clinic provides both lung cancer screening and direct pathways for diagnosis and treatment when necessary. We are firmly committed to the process of early detection and treatment of potential lung cancers for the members of our community.

I have been a patient at the Texas IPS in San Antonio for 7 years, in treatment for my severe sleep apnea. The treatment I have received in especially these last 3 years with Dr. Manica Isiguzo has significantly improved the quality of my life. Using the BiPAP machine and settings that Dr. Isiguzo has prescribed, I do not now suffer from apnea when I sleep. It is a joy to wake up in the morning feeling refreshed, and not to fall asleep in films or concerts in the afternoon or night. Texas IPS has referred me to Alamo Respiratory Services for my BiPAP supplies, and coordinates smoothly my treatment with them. I enthusiastically recommend Texas IPS and Dr. Isiguzo.
