About

Dr. Nansheng Wan is a leading figure in interventional pulmonology, whose work has been instrumental in advancing the diagnosis and management of peripheral pulmonary lesions. His primary research focuses on the clinical application and standardization of shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (ssRAB), a cutting-edge technology that combines fiber-optic position sensing with robotic control to enhance maneuverability and accuracy in the lung periphery. Dr. Wan’s most notable contribution is his role as a key author of the "Chinese expert consensus on shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (ssRAB) in the management of peripheral pulmonary lesions" (2025), a landmark document that provides the first standardized framework for this emerging technique in China. This consensus, which has already garnered 3 citations, is critical for guiding clinicians in adopting ssRAB, a technology that has been used in the United States since 2019. By establishing best practices and safety protocols, Dr. Wan is helping to bridge the gap between innovation and widespread clinical implementation, ultimately improving diagnostic yields for patients with challenging lung nodules.
