About
Lucas Weiser is a thoracic surgeon and researcher whose work is reshaping the diagnosis and treatment of early-stage lung cancer. His primary research areas include robotic-assisted bronchoscopy, minimally invasive thoracic surgery, and health equity in surgical oncology. Weiser is best known for pioneering the single-anesthesia robotic navigational bronchoscopy with biopsy and lung resection (SABR) approach, which combines diagnosis and treatment into one procedure. His 2024 study on SABR demonstrated significant reductions in wait times and improved cost-effectiveness, with 7 citations already marking its growing influence. His most cited work, a 2025 paper on shape-sensing robotic bronchoscopic biopsies (11 citations), has advanced diagnostic yield and surgical planning. Weiser has also made critical contributions to understanding disparities in lung cancer care. His 2024 study on national race and socioeconomic disparities in access to minimally invasive lung resection revealed that Black and low-income patients are significantly less likely to receive MIS, directly impacting survival. With a total of 30 citations across his top papers, Weiser is a rising voice in thoracic oncology, championing both technical innovation and equitable access to care.
