Roswell Park is among the first hospitals in the United States, and the only center in New York State to utilize the Monarch™ Platform robotic bronchoscopy, which integrates the latest advancements in robotics, computer navigation, 3D imaging and an innovative telescoping endoscope.

The new technology enables physicians to enter the lungs and maneuver through the patient’s airways to reach peripheral areas of the lungs, evaluating and taking samples of any suspicious areas with unmatched precision and dexterity. The ability to diagnose these early cancers and begin treatment sooner than otherwise possible promises to increase chances of survival and avoid unnecessary invasive diagnostic procedures.
