Abstract: ABSTRACT: Background: Outcomes of lung cancer patients traveling greater distances for surgical oncology care are not well-described. We investigated the effects of increased travel burden after robotic-assisted pulmonary lobectomy (RAPL) for lung cancer. Methods: Clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes of 711 consecutive patients who underwent RAPL from September 2010 to March 2022 were compared, stratified by primary residential ZIP code
