Revolutionizing Lung Cancer Diagnosis: The Promise of Robotic Biopsy with the Ion System
Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States, claiming more lives than colon, breast, and pancreatic cancers combined. Despite advances in technology, early detection continues to be a formidable challenge; approximately 75% of patients are diagnosed at advanced stages when curative surgery is no longer an option. This reality underscores the urgent need for innovative diagnostic tools that can reliably detect and biopsy small, hard-to-reach lung nodules earlier in their progression.
