About
Anuj Wali is a thoracic surgeon whose work sits at the critical intersection of advanced oncology and surgical intervention. His primary research focus is on salvage pulmonary resection for patients with stage IIIb–IV lung cancer who have been treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). His most-cited paper, a 2021 case series and literature review, directly addresses this emerging and high-stakes clinical question: when is surgery feasible and beneficial after immunotherapy? By documenting a series of nine patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer who underwent pulmonary resection following ICI treatment, Wali provided early, real-world evidence that salvage surgery can be a viable option for carefully selected patients. This work has garnered 17 citations, signaling its importance to a field grappling with the surgical management of patients whose tumors have responded to immunotherapy. Wali’s contributions are helping to define a new surgical frontier, offering a potential path to long-term control for patients who previously had few options. His research is essential reading for any surgeon or oncologist navigating the complexities of modern, multimodal lung cancer care.
