We are committed to sharing information with you about keeping the lungs healthy as well as about our solutions for lung cancer diagnosis and staging.
We want to raise awareness on lung cancer, since we have a lot to say about it.
The goal is to create more attention with our campaign #LoveForLungs and thereby help more people in the fight against cancer.
Lung cancer causes practically no early symptoms and is therefore usually diagnosed very late. Early detection can make a big difference. It means a curative treatment can be performed to counteract the above listed disastrous numbers, give patients more hope and reduce medical costs.
When detecting lung cancer, an accurate assessment of the progession of the disease is essential for defining the following treatment.
Let's take a step back in time to the early days of innovations in the respiratory field. It's been over 50 years since the first Olympus flexible bronchoscope was introduced.
From the early beginnings to EBUS-TBNA - the gold standard for lung cancer staging, peripheral bronchoscopy and beyond*2 - we will continuously innovate in order to provide the most advanced equipment to support progress in respiratory diagnosis and staging.

Endobronchial ultrasound transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is a reliable and commonly established technique, which can be perceived as the current gold standard that enables visualisation and sampling of mediastinal, central or hilar lesions and lymph nodes within the tracheo-bronchial tree.
Suspicious lesions are often found in the periphery of the lung, making them a challenge to access and accurately diagnose at an early stage. Discover how to get easy and repeated access to peripheral lung regions.
This scope facilitates access to peripheral lung regions for effective diagnostics. It provides an optimal ratio of outer diameter to working channel size. A 3.0 mm distal-end outer diameter is combined with a 1.7 mm working channel diameter.
Our most advanced endoscopy system introduces a range of new, easy-to-use technologies that aim to revolutionize the way pulmonary disorders can be detected, characterized and sampled.
