Description
Naoya Kawakita and eleven co-authors report, in 2024 work, a way to mark tiny lung spots with a metal coil during surgery itself. Small deep spots are hard to find by eye or touch once the chest is open. Their method threads a fine scope down the air path in a hybrid room, steered by a virtual map and live cone scans.
Ninety spots in eighty-seven patients were marked, most near a centimetre wide. The coil sat a few millimetres from each spot, and marking took under half an hour. All spots were cut out with clean rims. Most proved to be lung cancer, the rest spread tumours or mild growths. No harm came from the marking. The team calls it a low-strain swap for older mark-first routes.
