AI uncovers overlooked lung airways to improve bronchoscopy maps
Lung cancer is among the most commonly diagnosed cancers globally and is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths. Early detection can improve survival. However, collecting tissue samples from small tumors located deep within the lungs remains a major challenge. Because many of these lesions are found in the peripheral regions of the lungs, physicians must navigate through an intricate network of tiny branching airways to reach the tar…
The Portuguese Institute of Oncology (IPO) of Lisbon performed the first robotic bronchoscopy in Portugal and in the National Health Service (SNS), using the robotic platform ION. Funded by the Recovery and Resilience Plan...
It's another advance in health technology. The Lisbon IPO took the first diagnostic exam of lung cancer using a robot. It allows to diagnose earlier, with more precision, less suffering and better chances of treatment.
The Lisbon IPO is now able to do a bronchoscopy with a robot that was long wanted. The structure can still, in the future, help to perform lung cancer treatments. Understand what is at stake.
