Hermann Braun Lambur

Hermann Braun Lambur serves as Leitender Arzt of the Lung Cancer Center Kaiserslautern at Westpfalz-Klinikum. The center is described as specialized in lung cancer care and airway/lung diseases, and it builds individualized treatment plans through interdisciplinary tumor conferences. In that setting, the diagnostic pathway includes endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS), video-assisted mediastinoscopy (VAM), and video-assisted thoracoscopy (VATS), each presented as a procedure used to examine structures within the chest.

For patients, the practical advantage is that the same center documentation lists both diagnostic steps and treatment options. The Lung Cancer Center’s therapy procedures include lobectomy, atypical lung resection (open), and pleurodesis, and it also covers surgical, radiation, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and interventional approaches depending on disease stage and comorbidities. In the center’s “Schwerpunkte” material, EBUS is described as enabling detailed examination of structures around the trachea, while VAM and VATS are described as minimally invasive “keyhole” approaches for obtaining tissue samples or inspecting the chest cavity.

Clinical focus and techniques

As medical director of the Lung Cancer Center, Lambur’s documented clinical scope spans diagnostic bronchoscopy and minimally invasive chest procedures, alongside surgical and systemic lung cancer treatment planning.

• Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) — detailed examination of chest structures around the trachea.
• Video-assisted mediastinoscopy (VAM) — minimally invasive “keyhole” tissue sampling near the trachea.
• Video-assisted thoracoscopy (VATS) — minimally invasive “keyhole” inspection of the chest cavity.
• Lobectomy — listed as a lung cancer center procedure.
• Atypical lung resection (open) — listed as a lung cancer center procedure.
• Pleurodesis — listed as a lung cancer center procedure.

Awards and recognition

The center’s documentation also describes the use of interdisciplinary tumor conferences with participation from multiple specialties, supporting coordinated decision-making for each patient. The Lung Cancer Center is part of Westpfalz-Klinikum in Kaiserslautern, and the care model is built for both diagnosis and treatment within one specialized unit. For international patients, this structure can reduce the need to coordinate multiple providers across different locations before treatment planning.
