Luca Bertolaccini, Thoracic Surgeon at IEO – European Institute of Oncology and Associate Editor of the European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery at Oxford University Press, shared a post on LinkedIn about a paper he co-authored with colleagues published in Sage Journals:
“Fast-Track Innovation in Lung Cancer Care!
Thrilled to share our latest publication: ‘Fast Track Pathway for Lung Cancer: The Integration of ION Robotic-Assisted Bronchoscopy With Robotic Thoracic Surgical Resection’.
This study, led by Juliana Guarize, Luca Bertolaccini, and Lorenzo Spaggiari, presents a pioneering model that unites diagnosis, localization, and surgical resection within a single coordinated workflow — all in just three days.
By merging ION robotic-assisted bronchoscopy and robotic thoracic surgery, our Fast Track Pathway significantly shortens the diagnosis-to-treatment interval, enhances precision, and maintains outstanding safety and diagnostic yield.
This work reflects a broader vision: patient-centered, technology-driven, minimally invasive oncology care — where robotic systems and multidisciplinary collaboration converge to redefine the standards of thoracic surgery.
Grateful to all the colleagues at IEO Istituto Europeo di Oncologia and Università degli Studi di Milano who made this possible.”
