Prudence A. Russell is a pulmonologist based at St Vincent S Hospital in Melbourne, VIC. She works in respiratory care, looking after people with lung and breathing problems that can be tricky to manage.
Her clinical work covers a range of serious lung conditions. This includes different types of lung cancer, such as non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC), plus lung adenocarcinoma and squamous cell lung carcinoma. She also cares for people with EGFR positive lung cancer, and for those with lung metastases where cancer has spread to the lungs. Other lung-related conditions she helps manage include mesothelioma, asbestosis, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, and pulmonary alveolar proteinosis.
In many cases, patients are referred for help when symptoms like breathlessness, ongoing cough, or changes seen on scans need specialist input. At times, that work involves sorting out what the results mean and supporting the next steps in care. She also treats other health issues that can affect the lungs, including neuroendocrine tumours and lung involvement with Light Chain Deposition Disease (LCDD).
Prudence A. Russell’s experience includes caring for people with both common and more complex respiratory problems, including lung cancers and other lung diseases linked to past exposures like asbestos.
