    Pulmonary Precision: from COPD to Robotic Lung Biopsy

    In this episode, we take a comprehensive, modern look at lung health—bridging chronic disease management, early cancer detection, and cutting-edge procedural innovation available at Willis Knighton Health. We begin with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), discussing practical, evidence-based strategies to optimize diagnosis, personalize therapy, and improve long-term outcomes. From there, we shift to lung cancer screening, highlighting who should be screened, how low-dose CT has transformed early detection, and the real-world impact on mortality when screening is implemented effectively. We will also dive into the evolving world of advanced bronchoscopy, focusing on robotic-assisted platforms that are redefining how we approach pulmonary nodules. We break down how robotic bronchoscopy works, when to use it, and how it compares to traditional biopsy techniques in terms of accuracy, safety, and access to peripheral lesions. This episode delivers a clear overview of where pulmonary medicine stands today—and where it’s headed next.  Learn more about Kamal A. Masri, MD

    Peanuts, Panic and Data

    Food allergy prevalence seems to be on the rise. Living with a severe food allergy often feels like a constant game of high-stakes avoidance. But what if "just don't eat it" was no longer the only answer? In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Caroline Caperton, an allergist, immunologist and public health professional to demystify the rapidly evolving world of food allergy management. We move beyond the basics of anaphylaxis to explore how groundbreaking treatments like Oral Immunotherapy (OIT) and newly FDA-approved biologics like omalizumab (Xolair) are helping patients reach "food freedom."
