About

Dr. Ghada Shahin is a pioneering thoracic surgeon whose work centers on robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS), surgical training standardization, and the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Her major contributions include leading the Delphi process for the Thoracic Robotic Curriculum Development Committee, which established consensus-based procedures to optimize robotic training and enhance patient safety—a foundational effort cited over 50 times. She has also championed structured, standardized training modules for RATS across Europe, addressing the critical need for uniform education as robotic adoption grows. Clinically, Dr. Shahin has demonstrated the feasibility and quality of RATS for advanced-stage NSCLC (stages IIB–IVA), showing that robotic techniques can achieve effective nodal upstaging and low mediastinal recurrence rates. Her work has been cited over 90 times collectively, reflecting its influence on both surgical practice and training. Notably, her forward-looking perspective on "reprogramming the surgeon" explores how robotics will reshape future surgical education. Dr. Shahin’s research bridges technical innovation, rigorous training, and improved patient outcomes, making her a key figure in the evolution of minimally invasive thoracic surgery.
