A Father’s Day gift: Great-grandfather beats lung cancer with help of robots

Jun 16, 2025

Meet Alan Lesk, a Delray Beach great grandfather whose life took a dramatic turn thanks to early detection and cutting edge robotics at hashtag#DelrayMedicalCenter. Thanks to a routine check-up and advanced ION robotic bronchoscopy, doctors spotted a Cheerio-sized lung nodule. In just 10 days, our team navigated the nodule, biopsied it, and performed a robotic lobectomy, all with smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery.

Alan’s journey is a powerful reminder: when lung cancer is caught early, survivorship soars. We’re honored to be at the forefront, using the latest robotic technology to turn life threatening diagnoses into Father’s Day gifts.
