About

Andrew Ju is a researcher whose work sits at the critical intersection of interventional pulmonology and radiation oncology, with a primary focus on improving the precision of lung cancer treatments. His key research area involves enhancing the accuracy of stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) for non-small cell lung cancer by addressing the fundamental challenge of respiratory motion. Ju’s major contribution is the development of a novel fiducial marker placement guidance system used during electromagnetic navigational bronchoscopy (ENB). This system allows for more reliable tracking of lung tumors as they move with each breath, ensuring that high-dose radiation is delivered precisely to the target while sparing healthy tissue. His most cited work, "Improved respiratory motion tracking through a novel fiducial marker placement guidance system during ENB" (2019), has garnered 5 citations, establishing a foundation for safer, more effective SABR delivery. By solving the practical problem of marker placement, Ju’s research directly impacts patient outcomes for those with early-stage or oligometastatic disease who are not candidates for surgery, making his work a valuable contribution to the field of image-guided radiotherapy.
