Diagnostic patterns after adoption of shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy: a retrospective cohort study
Implementation of an ssRAB platform was associated with an increased rate in early stage cancer diagnoses. These findings may suggest that integrating advanced bronchoscopic technologies into lung nodule evaluation pathways, including screening programs and expedited pulmonology referrals for incidental nodule findings, may enhance early diagnosis and improve clinical outcomes.
