About
Marco Bertolini is a leading figure in interventional pulmonology, whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive diagnostic techniques for lung cancer. His primary research focuses on the integration of advanced imaging modalities—specifically cone beam CT (CBCT) and augmented fluoroscopy—to improve the accuracy and safety of bronchoscopic lung nodule biopsy. Bertolini’s major contribution lies in demonstrating how CBCT-augmented fluoroscopy can overcome the limitations of traditional bronchoscopy, enabling real-time, three-dimensional navigation to reach small, difficult-to-access peripheral nodules. His seminal 2021 paper on this technique, which has garnered 12 citations, established a new standard for efficient and safe tissue diagnosis, reducing reliance on more invasive surgical biopsies. By lowering pneumothorax rates while maintaining high diagnostic yield, his work directly addresses a critical need in lung cancer screening programs. Bertolini’s research has been instrumental in shaping protocols for endobronchial biopsy, offering patients a safer, more precise alternative. His achievements underscore a commitment to translating cutting-edge imaging technology into tangible clinical benefits, making him a key innovator in the fight against lung cancer.
