About
Nikhil Panda is a leading thoracic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for lung cancer treatment. His primary research areas include video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and robotic-assisted lobectomy, with a particular emphasis on improving outcomes for patients with stage II-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer. Panda’s most notable contribution is his 2022 study, "Open, Video- and Robot-Assisted Thoracoscopic Lobectomy for Stage II-IIIA Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer," which has garnered 22 citations and provides critical comparative data on surgical approaches for advanced-stage disease. This work has helped clarify the safety and efficacy of minimally invasive techniques versus traditional open surgery, influencing clinical guidelines and practice patterns. Beyond this landmark paper, Panda is recognized for integrating robotic technology into thoracic oncology, aiming to reduce recovery times and complications. His research bridges surgical innovation with real-world patient care, making him a respected voice in the field. For students and researchers, Panda’s work exemplifies how rigorous comparative studies can drive evidence-based evolution in surgical oncology.
