About
Dr. Kavian Toosi is a thoracic surgeon whose research centers on refining surgical outcomes for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with a particular focus on robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. His most influential work, cited 46 times, demonstrated that robotic-assisted lobectomy achieves effective mediastinal lymph node upstaging, a critical marker for accurate staging and survival. Dr. Toosi has systematically investigated how patient-specific factors—including obesity, advanced age, and gender—affect perioperative outcomes after robotic pulmonary lobectomy, providing essential data for risk stratification and personalized surgical planning. He has also examined the impact of induction chemotherapy and radiation on lymph node assessment in patients with clinical N1 or N2 disease, contributing to evidence-based management of locally advanced NSCLC. Through these studies, Dr. Toosi has helped establish the safety and efficacy of robotic-assisted approaches across diverse patient populations, advancing the field of minimally invasive thoracic oncology.
