The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Expert Consensus Statements on a Framework for a Standardized National Robotic Curriculum for Thoracic Surgery Trainees.
Ann Thorac Surg
December 2024
Ascension Saint Thomas Hospital, University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Division of Thoracic Surgery, Nashville, TN.
Objective: With robotic technology's rapid growth and integration, an urgent need to bridge the educational gap in thoracic surgical training has emerged. This document, a result of consensus among a group of experts in the practice and training of robotic surgery from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS), aims to provide a framework for a standardized national robotic curriculum for thoracic surgery trainees.
Methods: The STS Task Force on Robotic Thoracic Surgery and Workforce on E-learning and Educational Innovation assembled an expert group with the input of the Thoracic Surgery Director's Association (TSDA).
The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Expert Consensus on the Multidisciplinary Management and Resectability of Locally Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer.
Ann Thorac Surg
January 2025
Division of Thoracic Surgery, Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California; Department of Surgery, Veterans Affairs Palo Altos Health Care System, Stanford, California.
Background: The contemporary management and resectability of locally advanced lung cancer are undergoing significant changes as new data emerge regarding immunotherapy and targeted treatments. The objective of this document is to review the literature and present consensus among a group of multidisciplinary experts to guide the determination of resectability and management of locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the context of contemporary evidence.
Methods: The Society of Thoracic Surgeon Workforce on Thoracic Surgery assembled a multidisciplinary expert panel composed of thoracic surgeons and medical and radiation oncologists with established expertise in the management of lung cancer.
Identifying Asian American lung cancer disparities: A novel analytic approach.
JTCVS Open
August 2024
Division of Thoracic Surgery, MedStar Washington Hospital Center, Washington, DC.
Objective: Asian Americans include heterogeneous subpopulations with unique burden as the only racial group with cancer as the leading cause of death. The purpose of the study was to identify differences in clinical stage and survival of patients with lung cancer between Asian Americans and its subgroups relative to other racial groups.
Methods: Patients with lung cancer from 2016 National Cancer Database were divided into East Asian, Southeast Asian, South Asian subgroups based on geographic origins, and a composite Asian American group with White non-Hispanic, Black, and Hispanic comparison groups.
Comparing Robotic, Thoracoscopic, and Open Segmentectomy: A National Cancer Database Analysis.
J Surg Res
April 2024

Electronic address:
Introduction: Minimally invasive approaches to lung resection have become widely acceptable and more recently, segmentectomy has demonstrated equivalent oncologic outcomes when compared to lobectomy for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, studies comparing outcomes following segmentectomy by different surgical approaches are lacking. Our objective was to investigate the outcomes of patients undergoing robotic, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), or open segmentectomy for NSCLC using the National Cancer Database.
