About

Roberto Crisci is a leading thoracic surgeon whose work has advanced the field of minimally invasive lung cancer surgery. His primary research focuses on video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS), particularly the transition from traditional two-dimensional to cutting-edge three-dimensional imaging. Crisci’s major contribution lies in demonstrating how 3D-VATS improves spatial awareness and precision during pulmonary resections, making complex procedures safer and more effective. His seminal 2017 update on this technique, with 8 citations, remains a key reference for surgeons adopting this technology. Beyond technical innovation, Crisci is deeply involved in large-scale clinical research. He is the principal architect of the Italian Lung Cancer Observational Study (LUCENT), a landmark protocol launched in 2024 that aims to track real-world outcomes for patients with early and locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer. This initiative, already garnering 3 citations, promises to generate critical data on evolving treatment paradigms. Through his blend of surgical ingenuity and rigorous observational research, Crisci is shaping the future of lung cancer care, bridging the gap between technological advancement and patient-centered outcomes.
