About
Dr. Mendy Lum is a leading interventional pulmonologist whose work is revolutionizing the diagnosis of peripheral lung lesions. Her primary research focuses on advancing robotic-assisted navigation bronchoscopy (RANB), a paradigm-shifting technology for minimally invasive lung biopsies. Dr. Lum’s seminal 2021 paper, "Robotic-Assisted Navigation Bronchoscopy as a Paradigm Shift in Peripheral Lung Access," with 118 citations, established RANB as a critical tool for reaching difficult-to-access nodules, dramatically improving diagnostic yield while reducing patient risk. She has further refined this approach by systematically evaluating biopsy tools, notably demonstrating the safe integration of cryobiopsy with RANB in her 2023 work. Her comparative studies on biopsy tool performance are directly shaping clinical best practices, enabling more precise tissue acquisition for lung cancer diagnosis. By bridging the gap between advanced robotics and pulmonology, Dr. Lum is setting new standards for early, accurate detection of lung cancer, making her a pivotal figure in the future of minimally invasive thoracic care.
