About
Dr. Rosalba Lembo is a pioneering thoracic surgeon whose research centers on minimally invasive surgical techniques for lung cancer, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). Her most notable contribution is the landmark ROMAN Study (2021), the first prospective international randomized controlled trial comparing robotic versus manual VATS for major lung resection in early-stage lung cancer. This highly cited work (94 citations) provided critical evidence on perioperative outcomes and surgical radicality, establishing benchmarks for robotic surgery in thoracic oncology. Dr. Lembo's research has significantly advanced the field by rigorously evaluating the benefits of robotic approaches, including reduced morbidity and improved precision. Her work is widely recognized for shaping clinical guidelines and influencing surgical practice worldwide. With a growing impact in thoracic surgery, Dr. Lembo continues to drive innovation in minimally invasive techniques, improving outcomes for patients with early lung cancer.
