Which department should I go to for lung cancer?

If you need to make a differential diagnosis of lung cancer, you can go to the respiratory department of the hospital for chest imaging, sputum cytology, tumor marker detection and other examinations. If necessary, fiber bronchoscopy and percutaneous lung puncture biopsy can be performed for pathological diagnosis. The routine examination of lung cancer is to first perform a chest CT examination.
