Sterilized surgical instruments covering the surface of a table top will be used during a thoracoscopic surgery to remove the upper left lobe of the lung in a cancer patient Feb. 26, 2019 at the David Grant USAF Medical Center, Travis Air Base, California. During the procedure, surgeons insert a tiny camera (thoracoscope) into the patient’s chest through two small incisions in the chest wall. Cancer registrars at the medical center collect and consolidate a summary of a patient's cancer from diagnosis to death. This data is essential in research, to improve prevention, screening and treatment programs and to monitor trends. (U.S. Air Force photo by Heide Couch)
