About
Nathan M. Mollberg is a surgical researcher whose work centers on refining lung cancer surgery to improve staging accuracy and patient outcomes. His primary focus is the relationship between surgical technique and lymph node assessment—a critical factor in determining disease stage and guiding adjuvant therapy. Mollberg’s most cited study (21 citations) demonstrated how specific surgical approaches in lung cancer resection directly influence the adequacy of lymph node sampling and rates of pathologic nodal upstaging, a key indicator of accurate staging. He has further advanced this field by analyzing provider and procedural factors that promote guideline-concordant lymph node sampling, as well as evaluating lymph node harvest in sublobar resections within a statewide quality collaborative. These contributions underscore his commitment to evidence-based surgical quality improvement. Mollberg’s work is particularly valuable for thoracic surgeons and oncologists seeking to optimize surgical protocols, reduce understaging, and ultimately improve survival in non-small cell lung cancer patients.
