Lung Cancer Procedure Removes Wait

It’ll take just 60 seconds of your time to watch our Health Watch video on a procedure to diagnose and remove lung cancer in one procedure.

Hear about Robotic One Assisted Diagnosis and Treatment (ROADAT). This robotic-assisted approach to addressing suspicious areas, spots or nodules in the lungs involves performing a biopsy, getting results, and, if necessary, removing cancerous tissue all in one surgery. By reducing the time between taking out the suspicious tissue and the diagnosis, UMass Memorial Medical Center physicians are able to decrease the risk of cancer spreading and help ensure the best outcome possible for the patient.
