Comprehensive Evaluation & Treatment of Swollen Lymph Nodes
Dr. Vaibhav Shankar is a leading specialist in lymph gland enlargement, providing expert evaluation and treatment for swollen lymph nodes in the chest and lungs. Lymphadenopathy can result from infections, inflammatory diseases, or malignancies, and identifying the cause early is crucial for effective treatment.
With his expertise in interventional pulmonology and advanced diagnostic techniques, Dr. Shankar ensures a thorough and accurate assessment of mediastinal and pulmonary lymph nodes. He employs advanced imaging, Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS), CT-guided biopsies, and fine-needle aspiration (FNA) to diagnose conditions like:
✔ Tuberculosis lymphadenitis – TB-related lymph node swelling.
✔ Sarcoidosis – Granulomatous inflammatory disease affecting lymph nodes.
✔ Lymphoma & Lung Cancer – Cancerous conditions affecting lymph glands.
✔ Infectious Lymphadenopathy – Viral and bacterial infections causing lymph node swelling.
Lymph gland enlargement can sometimes be asymptomatic or may present with symptoms such as persistent cough, breathlessness, fever, night sweats, and weight loss. Early diagnosis plays a critical role in preventing complications and ensuring the right treatment plan.
Dr. Shankar’s patient-centered approach at Advance Chest Care Clinic ensures personalized care, cutting-edge diagnostics, and effective treatment plans tailored to each individual.
