Yashoda Hospital, Hitech City, in collaboration with Qure.ai and Astra Zeneca, has launched an advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered Lung Nodule Clinic here on Sunday.

According to G.S. Rao, Managing Director of Yashoda Hospitals, lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in India, claiming over one lakh lives every year, primarily due to delayed diagnosis. “The AI-enabled Lung Nodule Clinic provides a structured mechanism to identify early radiologic signs of lung cancer, even in asymptomatic individuals, and ensures priority follow-up and timely intervention,” he said.

V. Nagarjuna Maturu, Senior Consultant, Clinical and Interventional Pulmonology said that the programme helps to identify and manage lung disease earlier, even among patients outside conventional screening criteria.
