About

Arlene M. Correa is a leading researcher in thoracic surgery, with a primary focus on minimally invasive surgical techniques for lung cancer treatment. Her work has significantly advanced the field of robotic-assisted lobectomy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), where she has helped establish its safety, efficacy, and long-term outcomes. In her landmark 2019 study, "Robotic-Assisted Lobectomy for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Comprehensive Institutional Experience," which has garnered 92 citations, Correa and her team provided critical evidence supporting robotic surgery as a viable alternative to traditional open thoracotomy. This work has influenced surgical protocols and training worldwide. Beyond this, her research spans perioperative outcomes, quality of life after lung resection, and the integration of novel technologies into clinical practice. With a career dedicated to improving patient recovery and survival, Correa’s contributions are widely recognized in surgical oncology. Her rigorous data analysis and collaborative approach have made her a trusted voice in thoracic surgery, and her findings continue to shape how lung cancer patients are treated, offering hope for less invasive yet equally effective care.
