About
Claire Perez is a thoracic surgeon and researcher whose work is reshaping the management of early-stage lung cancer. Her primary research areas include minimally invasive thoracic surgery, robotic-assisted bronchoscopy, and the optimization of care pathways for lung cancer patients. Dr. Perez’s major contribution is the development and validation of the single-anesthesia robotic navigational bronchoscopy with biopsy and lung resection (SABR) approach. Her landmark 2024 study on SABR demonstrated that combining diagnosis and treatment into one anesthetic event significantly reduces wait times from diagnosis to resection—a critical factor given that delays negatively impact survival in non-small cell lung cancer. She also showed this approach is cost-effective, addressing both clinical and economic barriers to timely care. Her 2025 paper on shape-sensing robotic bronchoscopy further advanced diagnostic yield, while her analysis of national esophagectomy trends provided crucial insights into operative approaches and survival outcomes. With over 28 citations across her most-cited works, Dr. Perez is establishing herself as a leader in streamlining lung cancer care, directly improving patient outcomes through innovative, efficient surgical strategies.
