    Kudos and Congratulations 5.



    Congratulations to:

      Dr. Richard Finley (Thoracic Surgery) and his co-investigators (Dr. John Mayo, Joanne Clifton MSc, Dr. John Yee, Dr. Ken Evans, Dr. John English, Dr. Larry Lynd) for their grant from the VGH/UBC Hospital Foundation to support their longitudinal study of patients who have undergone Thoracoscopic Resection for Subcentimetre lung nodules after localization using percutaneously inserted platinum microcoil under CT guidance.

      Dr. Finley and his team developed this innovative method for marking lung nodules and is also conducting a randomized control trial to determine if thoracoscopic resection of subcentimetre lung nodules after localization using percutaneously inserted platinum microcoils under CT guidance reduces rate of conversion to open thoracotomy from 50% to 10%. The RCT is also supported by a grant from the BC Lung Association.
