Abstract

Earlier detection and expeditious intervention will improve survival for patients with NSCLC. Lung screening and lung nodule programs identify patients for whom lung biopsy is appropriate. Robotic navigational bronchoscopy is a platform providing access to the entire lung and is uniquely capable of reaching nodules and GGO in the periphery making it an effective adjunct to early detection pathways. Patients diagnosed with NSCLC are referred for definitive therapy. We are evaluating the safety and efficacy of coupling Ion navigational bronchoscopy with minimally invasive surgical resection during a single episode of anesthesia; MIDAS (Minimally Invasive Diagnosis and Surgery) may become the new paradigm for lung nodule management.
