"A new technique to test for lung cancer''

 

"Allows earlier diagnosis"

 

 

 

 

Dr Hare is a pioneer in UK lung biopsy technique and has improved patient experience using a shorter, less painful biopsy process with a higher diagnostic accuracy and less time spent in hospital. Dr Hare's innovative use of a Heimlich valve allows more successful biopsy of small lung nodules which can potentially lead to earlier cancer diagnosis.
