About
Joanna Sesti is a thoracic surgeon and clinical researcher whose work sits at the intersection of minimally invasive surgery, lung cancer management, and emerging surgical technologies. Her research has made meaningful contributions to the treatment of early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with a particular focus on refining surgical approaches to improve patient outcomes while reducing procedural burden. Her most cited work, a 2020 comparative analysis of robotic versus thoracoscopic lobectomy (38 citations), has helped inform ongoing debates about optimal minimally invasive techniques for lung resection. Earlier contributions examined the evolving surgical landscape for early-stage lung cancer and the complex decision-making required for high-risk patients with significant comorbidities — a clinically underserved population requiring careful risk stratification. Sesti has also addressed rare but serious postoperative complications, including high-output chyle leaks following esophagectomy. More recently, she has turned her attention to artificial intelligence and radiomics in thoracic surgery, exploring their transformative potential in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. Across her body of work, Sesti demonstrates a consistent commitment to advancing evidence-based, patient-centered care in thoracic oncology.
