A robotic bronchoscopy system found 84% of deep lung tumors, vs. 23% with traditional methods, in a trial of 78 patients.
A robot-assisted bronchoscopy system successfully reached 84% of deep, hard-to-access lung tumors in a clinical trial of 78 patients, compared to just 23% with traditional methods, according to results presented at a European Respiratory Society meeting.
The device uses CT scans to guide a robotic system for biopsies in areas unreachable by standard bronchoscopy, enabling early cancer diagnosis in 50 patients with the most treatable form of lung cancer.
While the technology shows promise for improving survival through earlier detection, it costs over $1.1 million and adds $2,350 per procedure, leading experts to recommend use only for challenging cases.
Findings are preliminary and await peer-reviewed publication.
