About
Dr. Charles Fuller is a pioneering thoracic surgeon whose research centers on optimizing surgical pathways for lung and esophageal cancer patients. His most impactful work addresses the critical intersection of operative efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and patient outcomes. Dr. Fuller’s landmark study, “National trends in operative approach to esophagectomy” (2025, 10 citations), provides a comprehensive analysis of utilization rates and survival outcomes, establishing benchmarks for minimally invasive techniques. He is perhaps best known for developing and validating the single-anesthesia robotic navigational bronchoscopy with biopsy and lung resection (SABR) approach. His 2024 study (7 citations) demonstrated that SABR significantly reduces diagnostic-to-treatment delays—a known negative prognostic factor in non-small cell lung cancer—while also improving cost-effectiveness and wait times. This work has reshaped clinical protocols by proving that combining diagnosis and resection into a single anesthetic event is both feasible and superior to traditional staged approaches. Dr. Fuller’s contributions have been widely adopted, earning him recognition as a leader in streamlining oncologic surgical care and advancing robotic thoracic surgery.
