About
Dr. Kelly S. Robertson is a leading interventional pulmonologist whose research is transforming the landscape of lung cancer diagnosis. Her work centers on the clinical application and optimization of shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (ssRAB), a cutting-edge technology for sampling peripheral pulmonary lesions. Dr. Robertson has made seminal contributions by rigorously evaluating the diagnostic performance of these robotic systems, particularly for challenging cases such as pleural-based nodules and cavitary lesions. Her highly cited 2024 narrative review on robotic-assisted bronchoscopy systems (32 citations) serves as a foundational resource for the field. She has further advanced clinical practice by comparing cryobiopsy to fine-needle aspiration for small nodules and by demonstrating the feasibility of multi-site and lymph node staging biopsies in a single procedure. With a growing body of work that includes over a dozen publications in 2024-2025, Dr. Robertson is a key voice advocating for standardization in navigational bronchoscopy research, directly impacting how early-stage lung cancer is detected and staged.
