Same-day robotic bronchoscopy biopsy of hard-to-reach lung nodules — no surgical incision. Earliest-stage removal by keyhole robotic surgery. Combined surgical and oncological treatment for advanced cancer — with curative intent where others have said no. MDT care for every cancer patient.
Robotic navigational bronchoscopy is one of the most advanced diagnostic technologies available in UK thoracic medicine. A robotic catheter uses a detailed, real-time 3D map of your lung — built from your CT scan — to navigate precisely to lung nodules that are too small, too deep, or too peripheral to be reached by conventional bronchoscopy.
A tissue sample is obtained from the target nodule without any surgical incision. The procedure is performed as a day-case under sedation or light anaesthesia. Results guide all further treatment decisions — typically within days rather than weeks of surveillance.
Where biopsy confirms an early-stage lung cancer, onward robotic keyhole surgery can be planned and performed promptly — offering the best possible prognosis.
Book a Consultation →For patients with advanced lung cancer who have been told by other specialists that surgery is not an option, I offer combined surgical and oncological treatment in collaboration with London's leading oncologists. Patients who have been declined elsewhere have gone on to receive treatment with genuinely curative intent.
Request a Second Opinion →Every cancer patient is discussed at a formal Multidisciplinary Team meeting — bringing together thoracic surgeons, oncologists, radiologists, and pathologists to agree the best treatment plan for your individual case.
Below are the questions patients most commonly ask when referred with a lung nodule or lung cancer diagnosis. Please don't hesitate to raise anything further at your consultation.
