In this episode of the General Thoracic Surgical Podcast, Dr. Linda Martin and Dr. Rishi Reddy explore the rapidly evolving landscape of lung nodule localization—a critical topic as thoracic surgeons increasingly encounter smaller, non-palpable nodules due to expanded screening and imaging practices. The conversation covers the full spectrum of localization techniques—from traditional wire and dye marking to advanced robotic bronchoscopy, ICG (indocyanine green) fluorescence, and molecular imaging agents such as CYTALUX® (pafolacianine) injection. The discussion highlights workflow integration, patient safety, cost considerations, and the implications of emerging bronchoscopic ablation and molecular-targeted visualization technologies on the future of thoracic oncology.
