Precision Oncology in Lung Cancer Surgery.

Precision in lung cancer surgery is our ability to use the most cutting edge and up to date information to provide personalized and targeted surgical care to our patients. It aims to tailor patient care to patient and tumor characteristics and susceptibilities as well as to optimize the ways treatments are administered. This may include specific perioperative medical treatment, changing operative techniques to more minimally invasive ones if the situation permits, performing sub-anatomical surgeries when possible, and using innovative tumor visualization methods to enhance detection of previously occult disease to ultimately decrease the extent of the planned resection.
