About
Thanasie Markou is a thoracic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for lung cancer treatment, particularly through robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS). Her most cited work, a 2021 study on quality assessment of RATS for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), critically examines nodal upstaging and mediastinal recurrence—key indicators of surgical accuracy and oncologic outcomes. By comparing clinical and pathological staging results at Isala Hospital, Markou’s research provides essential evidence on the effectiveness of robotic approaches in achieving thorough lymph node dissection and reducing recurrence risks. With 8 citations, this study underscores her contribution to refining surgical standards and improving patient prognosis. Her work bridges the gap between technological innovation and clinical practice, offering valuable insights for surgeons adopting robotic platforms. Markou’s dedication to evaluating surgical quality positions her as a thoughtful voice in thoracic oncology, helping to shape best practices for NSCLC management in the era of precision surgery.
