November 5, 2026

VIRTUAL ATTENDANCE ONLY

This educational activity will provide healthcare professionals with an overview of advancements in lung cancer detection, diagnosis, and treatment. The program will highlight the role of robotic-assisted bronchoscopy in diagnosing pulmonary nodules, compare robotic-assisted thoracic surgery with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), and explore multidisciplinary approaches to lung cancer management.

Target Audience

This activity is intended for primary care physicians, pulmonologists, hospitalists, oncologists, thoracic surgeons, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, and other healthcare professionals involved in lung cancer care. It is designed for those who play a role in screening, diagnosis,treatment, and coordination of patient care.

At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Identify patients at increased risk for lung cancer, apply appropriate screening, and pulmonary nodule evaluation to facilitate earlier detection and diagnosis.
  • Describe the clinical applications, benefits, limitations, and considerations of robotic-assisted bronchoscopy and compare robotic-assisted thoracic surgery with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) in lung cancer management.
  • Implement strategies to improve multidisciplinary collaboration, patient navigation, and timely coordination of diagnostic and treatment services to minimize delays and optimize lung cancer patient outcomes.
