Dr. Saudra Kabagamba, civilian resident, is assisted by Senior Airman Michael Dickison, 60th Surgical Operations Squadron, surgical technician, as she prepares to perform video-assisted 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 heart, lung and vascular 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. The thoracoscope transmits images to a video monitor, guiding the surgeons in performing the procedure. There are more than 100 types of cancer, but the law only requires that some, like lung cancer, be reported to the National Cancer Institute. (U.S. Air Force photo by Heide Couch)
