When asthma and chronic breathing conditions can no longer be controlled by traditional medications, the experts at the Asthma and Obstructive Lung Disease Center within the Lung Institute at Banner – University Medical Center Phoenix can help. Our specialists are trained in the advanced treatment of chronic and advanced lung diseases.
The Center offers treatment for advanced asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Alpha-1, emphysema, chronic bronchitis and other lung conditions.
The most common lung ailment is asthma, a chronic disease that narrows the airways of the lungs. While there is not a cure for asthma, symptoms can usually be managed medically. However, when medical treatment no longer controls your asthma symptoms, it is time to visit the Lung Institute at Banner – University Medical Center Phoenix. Here, our specialists are experienced in advanced treatment for uncontrollable asthma.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a progressive disease that makes it difficult to breathe. It can be caused by smoking or exposure to bronchial irritants, and includes a variety of diseases including emphysema and chronic bronchitis. The Center offers the latest treatments for people with advanced COPD.

The medical experts at the Asthma and Chronic Lung Disease Center go beyond regular therapies, using both medical and interventional techniques to relieve symptoms and improve breathing. Innovative techniques include biologics, IGE inhibitors and bronchial thermoplasty.
Patients have access to new and innovative therapies for advanced asthma through our collaboration with our colleagues at Banner – University Medical Center Tucson. This research coordination gives our patients access to treatments and therapies before they may be widely available.
The Asthma and Obstructive Lung Disease Center is a nationally-recognized Clinical Resource Center for Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (Alpha-1). This genetic condition is passed from parents to their children. It can result in serious lung disease in adults and liver disease at any age. Our experts work closely with the Banner – University Medical Center Phoenix Advanced Liver Disease Institute to treat patients with Alpha-1.
The Center also offers treatment for advanced emphysema, chronic bronchitis and other advanced lung diseases.
Since the Center is part of the Lung Institute, patients will find all the testing they need right in the same building, including pulmonary function testing, cardiopulmonary exercise testing, and lab work.

Take the time to understand what conditions trigger your symptoms, and avoid those situations whenever possible.
