About
Stephanie J. Hachey is a leading thoracic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for lung cancer, particularly through video-assisted and robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgeries (VATS and RATS). Her major contributions include a landmark 2023 systematic review examining short-term outcomes of these minimally invasive approaches following neoadjuvant systemic therapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), a critical area where evidence was previously scarce. This highly cited work (15 citations in its first year) has helped clarify the safety and feasibility of combining modern systemic treatments with less invasive resection, directly influencing clinical decision-making for patients requiring surgery after preoperative therapy. Hachey’s research bridges the gap between oncology and thoracic surgery, optimizing perioperative care pathways. Her systematic review is recognized as a foundational reference for surgeons navigating the evolving landscape of neoadjuvant protocols. Beyond this, she has contributed to broader efforts in surgical outcomes research and thoracic oncology, earning her a reputation as a thoughtful innovator in the field. For students and researchers, Hachey’s work exemplifies how rigorous evidence synthesis can shape surgical practice and improve patient outcomes in complex cancer care.
