More than 100,000 Americans will die from lung cancer this year, but the team at HCA Florida uses a new robotic method to find tumors faster and further in the lung.
7:14 PM EDT November 1, 2023November is Lung Cancer Awareness month and according to the National Cancer Institute more than 127,000 Americans will die from lung cancer this year, making lung cancer responsible for the most deaths related to a specific type of cancer in the United States.
"The lung is like a tree with branches so we're trying to get to the spot far away in the branch, the smallest branch," said Dr. Amit Chakravarty. A camera at the end of the scope gave Dr. Chakravarty and the team a live view of inside the lung while he's navigating through branches of the lung that could not be reached prior to this technology.
