About
Prasanth Balasubramanian is a leading researcher in interventional pulmonology, specializing in the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions and lung cancer. His work centers on evaluating and advancing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (RAB) and shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (ssRAB), particularly for challenging cases involving small or subsolid nodules. A major contribution is his comprehensive systematic review and network meta-analysis (42 citations), which provides crucial comparative data on the diagnostic yield and safety of various sampling techniques, including CT-guided biopsy and bronchoscopic approaches. Balasubramanian has also demonstrated the utility of mobile cone-beam CT to complement ssRAB for small nodules (39 citations) and shown that ssRAB can safely diagnose multiple pulmonary nodules in a single anesthetic event (14 citations). His narrative review of robotic bronchoscopy systems (32 citations) serves as a key resource for clinicians. With a growing body of highly cited work, Balasubramanian is shaping the evidence base for minimally invasive lung cancer diagnosis, improving outcomes for patients with early-stage disease.
