| Research |
Dr. Weigel conducts research at the UW Carbone Cancer Center focused on early detection and minimally invasive surgical resection of lung and esophageal cancers. She is an investigator in several NIH-funded research studies conducted through the American College of Surgery Oncology Group (ACOSOG) and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG). Her research interests include: the efficacy of fluorescence endoscopic surveillance for dysplasia and cancer in Barrett’s esophagus and early lung cancer; laparoscopic resection of esophageal cancer; computed tomography (CT) screening for lung cancer; and preoperative chemo and radiation therapies for advanced lung and esophageal cancers.
Dr. Weigel’s current research focuses on the outcomes and the benefits of minimally invasive surgeries for lung and esophageal cancer and preoperative onco-geriatric assessment for lung and esophageal cancer surgeries. |
