About
Emily Ng is a thoracic surgery researcher whose work focuses on optimizing perioperative outcomes for lung cancer patients, particularly those undergoing advanced surgical and multimodal treatments. Her most impactful study, with 17 citations, examines perioperative outcomes and lymph node assessment after induction therapy in patients with clinical N1 or N2 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This work directly addresses a critical clinical question: how chemotherapy and radiation before surgery affect surgical results and lymph node evaluation in patients with regionally advanced disease. By analyzing the effects of induction chemotherapy with or without radiotherapy, Ng’s research helps refine treatment strategies for stage 2 and 3 NSCLC, potentially improving patient selection and surgical planning. Additionally, she has contributed to understanding postoperative complications, co-authoring a study on factors associated with prolonged air leaks after robotic-assisted thoracoscopic pulmonary lobectomy. Though early in her career, Ng’s focus on the intersection of induction therapy and minimally invasive techniques positions her work to influence both surgical decision-making and oncologic outcomes in thoracic oncology.
