Statement of Need Technology Overview: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. More patients die every year from lung cancer than from prostate, breast, and colon cancer combined. The majority of patients diagnosed with lung cancer do not survive, in part because the disease has often progressed to a more advanced stage at the time of diagnosis. Nodule location and size combined with technology limitations have made early stage diagnosis of lung cancer challenging. The Monarch Platform is a revolutionary flexible endoscopic technology designed to enable diagnostic physicians to diagnose, and eventually treat lung nodules with greater precision than ever they were previously able to do..e to do. Technology Indication for Use: The Monarch Platform is designed to address the limitations of current technology with the introduction of a new era of flexible robotics. The Monarch Platform utilizes a familiar controller-like interface that physicians use to navigate the flexible robotic endoscope to the periphery of the lung with improved reach, real-time vision, and precise control. In addition to advanced navigational views, based on 3-D models of the patient s own lung anatomy, the Monarch Platform provides physicians with continuous bronchoscope vision throughout the entire procedure. The Monarch Platform is designed to expand through field upgrades as new features and clinical indications are made available. Estimate of Use at VA Pittsburgh It is estimated that the Pittsburgh VA would start out doing approximately 50-75 cases a year with this new technology as it will take some time to determine which patients are more appropriate for traditional percutaneous vs robotic assisted biopsy. As the comfort level with the robot increases, it is very likely that there would be a reduced rate of pneumothoraces requiring inpatient hospital stays after percutaneous biopsies. This would lead to a cost savings for the organization. On average, over the past two years, the interventional department has done approximately 100 ct guided lung biopsies per fiscal year and with this technology, both pulmonary and thoracic surgical services can start to do at least half of that number plus additional smaller nodules based on the capacity of this innovative technology.
