About
A. Cuvelier is a leading clinical researcher in perioperative medicine and thoracic surgery, with a focus on functional assessment and risk stratification for patients undergoing major pulmonary resection. Their most cited work, a 2022 prospective inception cohort study, investigates the predictive value of the 6-minute stepper test (6MST) and sit-to-stand test (STST) for complications after minimally invasive lung cancer surgery. This study, with 19 citations, demonstrates that these simple, low-cost functional tests can identify patients at elevated risk for postoperative complications, offering supplementary prognostic information beyond traditional clinical variables. Cuvelier’s research bridges the gap between functional capacity assessment and surgical outcomes, providing clinicians with practical tools to optimize preoperative risk evaluation. Their contributions are particularly valuable for enhancing patient selection and perioperative care in thoracic surgery, where minimizing complications is critical. By validating accessible bedside tests, Cuvelier has advanced evidence-based practice, helping to improve recovery and reduce morbidity in lung cancer patients. Their work continues to influence guidelines and clinical decision-making in pulmonary resection.
