Pulmonary Medicine
In recent years, Japan has seen an increase in the number of patients with respiratory illnesses such as respiratory tract infection, lung cancer, COPD*, and bronchial asthma as it becomes a super-aged society.
Here at St. Luke’s MediLocus’ Department of Pulmonary Medicine, we provide appropriate services in close cooperation with St. Luke’s International Hospital for the prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment of these illnesses.
Additionally, the Smoking Cessation Outpatient and SAS** Outpatient clinics are also offered here for those looking to quit smoking and those concerned with sleep apnea or snoring.
