Before the introduction of this technology, it was very difficult for thoracic medicine specialists to sample nodules less than 10cm in size.<\/p>\n<p>The RBWH team was responsible for the world-first first in-human study in 2018, and the technology is already seeing excellent\u00a0success in identifying cancerous nodules overseas. \u00a0As part of an ongoing prospective study, it is hoped the robot will provide better health outcomes and more treatment options and choices for hundreds of Queenslanders every year.<\/p>\n<p>RBWH Thoracic Physician Dr David Fielding, alongside a dedicated team of clinicians, has led the research and implementation of the technology at the hospital and is thrilled to see it come to fruition as part of an ongoing registry study.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>\u201cHaving the ability to offer this technology at RBWH puts us at the cutting edge of clinical lung cancer diagnosis and management through allowing us to diagnose lung cancers earlier,\u201d said Dr Fielding.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>\u201cThis is a culmination of a series of technological advances that have been combined into one device.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>\u201cAs a clinician, the bronchoscopy robot allows us to diagnose nodules we are concerned about which previously would have been too small to check.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>\u201cIt brings forward a potential diagnosis using a safe technique and provides us with an opportunity to bring more certainty and treatment options to patients.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Well done to the team for making this technology a reality at RBWH.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New robotic technology at RBWH is allowing clinicians to diagnose lung cancer earlier than ever before, meaning patients can commence life-saving treatment sooner. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":53,"featured_media":10402,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_searchwp_excluded":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[176],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9381","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-at-the-royal"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.2 -
