About
Dr. Stephanie Stroever is a leading thoracic surgeon whose research focuses on optimizing minimally invasive surgical approaches for lung cancer, particularly non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Her major contributions center on comparing robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for complex lobectomies. In her most cited work (20 citations), she demonstrated that RATS yields a significantly lower rate of conversion to thoracotomy than VATS, a critical finding for improving patient outcomes in challenging cases. Dr. Stroever also investigates risk factors and perioperative outcomes associated with conversion to thoracotomy in NSCLC, using large-scale databases like the National Cancer Database to identify predictors of surgical complications. Her work has been cited over 28 times, underscoring its impact on clinical decision-making. By providing evidence that robotic approaches reduce the need for open surgery, she is helping to advance safer, less invasive treatment options for patients with locally advanced lung cancer—a notable achievement in the field of thoracic oncology.
