About
Dr. Lun-Che Chen is a pioneering interventional pulmonologist whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive diagnostic techniques for lung cancer, the leading cause of cancer mortality in Taiwan and globally. His major contributions lie in integrating advanced imaging modalities to improve the accuracy and safety of peripheral pulmonary nodule (PPN) biopsies. His landmark 2023 case series, with 12 citations, introduced a novel approach combining cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT)-derived augmented fluoroscopy with biopsy in a hybrid operating room. This technique addresses the critical challenge of sampling small, hard-to-reach nodules that are often missed by conventional bronchoscopy with radial endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS). By providing real-time, three-dimensional guidance, Dr. Chen’s work significantly enhances diagnostic yield while reducing procedural risks. His research has been instrumental in bridging the gap between radiology and interventional pulmonology, offering a safer, more effective pathway for early lung cancer detection. Dr. Chen’s innovative contributions are shaping the future of thoracic oncology, directly impacting patient outcomes and setting new standards for precision in pulmonary diagnostics.
