About

Dr. Bryan Meyers is a leading thoracic surgeon whose research has fundamentally shaped the modern approach to lung cancer surgery. His primary focus is on comparing the effectiveness and outcomes of open, video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS), and robotic-assisted lobectomy. Dr. Meyers is best known for his landmark PORTaL (Pulmonary Open, Robotic, and Thoracoscopic Lobectomy) Study, a multi-institutional analysis that has garnered over 149 combined citations. This work provides critical, real-world data on the comparative safety, cost, and long-term survival associated with each surgical technique, directly informing clinical decision-making for early-stage lung cancer. His 2019 study on utilization trends and cost further established his authority in evaluating the economic and practical implications of minimally invasive approaches. With a portfolio of highly cited papers, Dr. Meyers has not only advanced surgical technique but also provided the evidence base that helps surgeons and patients navigate the evolving landscape of thoracic oncology. His rigorous comparative effectiveness research remains essential reading for any clinician or trainee in the field.
