About
Dr. Jane Kho is a pioneering thoracic surgeon whose work centers on rare pulmonary neoplasms and minimally invasive surgical techniques. Her landmark case report on multifocal primary intrapulmonary thymoma (PIT) — a condition so rare it has been documented only once before — demonstrates her commitment to advancing understanding of ectopic thymomas arising within lung tissue. In that seminal 2023 paper, Dr. Kho achieved a world-first by successfully resecting multifocal PIT via robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS), a procedure that had never been attempted for this pathology. Her work not only expands the surgical frontier for ultra-rare tumors but also provides critical evidence that RATS can be safely applied in complex, multifocal cases where previous outcomes were fatal. While her citation count is modest — reflecting the niche nature of her research — the clinical impact is profound: her case report serves as the definitive reference for surgeons encountering this condition. Dr. Kho’s contributions exemplify how single-case innovations can reshape surgical oncology, offering hope for patients with previously untreatable thoracic malignancies.
