About
Jessica Donington is a thoracic surgeon and researcher whose work has made significant contributions to the diagnosis, staging, and surgical management of lung cancer and other thoracic malignancies. Best known for her influential 2013 paper "Surgical Management of Lung Cancer," which has garnered 118 citations, Donington has helped define the standard of care for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), clarifying the central role of resection in early-stage disease and its integration into multimodality approaches for more advanced cases. Her research has consistently pushed the field toward less invasive, better-tolerated surgical techniques. Her 2016 work on early-stage lung cancer highlighted the shift toward minimally invasive approaches enabled by advances in cross-sectional imaging, while her more recent investigations into robotic- and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for locally advanced NSCLC reflect her commitment to expanding the frontiers of surgical innovation. She has also explored stereotactic radiosurgery for inoperable lung tumors and addressed the unique challenges of managing lung cancer in high-risk patients with medical comorbidities. As co-author of the *Handbook of Lung Cancer and Other Thoracic Malignancies*, Donington has further cemented her role as an educator and thought leader shaping the next generation of thoracic oncology specialists.
