Program Description
Event Details
Lung cancer is one of the most common and deadliest cancers worldwide, often diagnosed at later stages when treatment options are more limited.
Join us for an informative session on lung cancer and the role of robotic bronchoscopy in its diagnosis with Dr. Yu Ma Htwe of Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center.
Dr. Htwe will review how common lung cancer is, the different types, and symptoms to watch for. The discussion will cover causes and risk factors, what prognosis may look like, and why early detection is so important. Learn who should be screened, how lung cancer is diagnosed—including advanced bronchoscopic techniques—and practical steps you can take to help reduce your risk through prevention.
Dr. Htwe joined RWJBarnabas Health in 2024 as Director of the Interventional Pulmonary Program and Lung Nodule Program. Her passions include collaborative patient care and ensuring excellent clinical quality and compassionate caregiving. Dr. Htwe’s clinical interests focus on the early detection and diagnosis of lung cancer and the management of thoracic malignancies, airway disorders, and pleural diseases using minimally invasive techniques. She has advanced training in interventional pulmonology, with expertise in robotic-assisted bronchoscopy, rigid bronchoscopy, endobronchial ultrasound, and other advanced diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.
This community health program is being presented in partnership with Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center, and requires registration.
