Lung Nodule Clinic 

At Banner - University Medicine North, we're working to survey lung nodules, screen for lung cancer and the early diagnoses of lung cancer to treat lung cancer effectively. Our team uses specialized pulmonologists and surgeons in clinic, low-dose CT scans, mobile screening units and smart computer software (AZRA-AI) to find lung nodules before they become serious. We've also brought this screening technology to communities like Sierra Vista and Casa Grande, making it easier for you to get checked.

When we find something concerning, we use advanced robotic technology to get an accurate diagnosis and offer the right treatment for your situation. If you have questions about lung nodules, lung cancer or lung cancer screening, please talk with your doctor or call (520) 694-2873 (CURE).
