high mortality rate when it comes to cancer. catching it early is critical, but dr size says the robot alone won't win the fight. it doesn't make sense to get something like this into hospital, they don't have a lung cancer screening program. because one is going to support the other, so john muir has two critical screening programs, and this is for the high risk population of patients with a history of smoking, who otherwise would not be allowed to get a ct scan because they don't have any symptoms. they're just high risk. and we've seen over 1500 patients, and some of those patients have gotten 2 to 6 scans each. the second one is called a pulmonary nodule program, and this also contributes to diagnosis a lung cancer early. and we've done over 6000 cases since 2000 and eight and this is anything suspicious that is seen is worked up. usually biopsies are done with the needle. but that gets harder when cancers are smaller, the biggest problem with as a fact that in about 20%

to 30% patients you may actually damage the lung with the lung drops, and that brings us back to this remote controlled robot that sends a camera down your throat into your lungs without incisions as soon as i am, 1.3 centimeters or 13 millimeters away from that nodule the once this camera is sitting around from the nodule. then we take biopsy, forceps or biopsy instruments such as this one. where there's a little needle on the end of it, and we could actually. obtain tissue for diagnosis. that's where pathologist dr barry latner steps in time is of the essence. sometimes they're following you in so here, their patient is on in the operating room on the table and time is exactly of the essence. so we need to turn around a result as fast as possible improvements in imaging , we're getting smaller and smaller lumps and as a result, smaller and smaller biopsies to look at if the patient has cancer. it can be biopsied staged and treated immediately.

essentially what we've done is decreased the time and the duration of diagnosis staging and treatment from conventional 2.5 months to about 2.5 hours at the end of the day, the team here says it is about the patient. i do actually come in and show them this is the vinci robot. the robot had like, say hi to live a little introduction to a new approach using the road, but i think it's like it's decreases the length of stay for the patient decreases. surgical infections and also the post op pain. it may look like a video game. but when it comes to lung cancer, dr site says, every advantage you can get will save lives. i think this is going to be one of the groundbreaking technologies. that really helps us treat our patients and diagnosed or patients faster. and again that was claudine wang reporting doctor size says people have come from across the united states and even the world to john mirror to be screened by that monarch system. but again, he says, it is just part of a larger approach to using screening and technology to help fight lung cancer. and a quick

weather update. we all know the beautiful thanksgiving around here in the bay area, with lots of sunshine temperatures after that cold start this morning, a nice recovery this afternoon and it looks like this will be the same weather story not only for tomorrow for your friday but into the weekend as well. so what's happening? where's the rainfall? as you can see, taking a look at the maps. we have some rainfall to show you it's just heading way up here up toward the pacific northwest. in fact, a place like seattle has some moderate to heavy rainfall in their forecast all weekend long. what about cal? calfornia well, there's a storm track and instead extended period of dry weather, so no rainfall for us just yet. maybe we'll see some changes as we head into december , but there's not one day we can pinpoint when we could say it's going to rain again here in the region, so of course we need the rainfall here in the sierra snowfall, but nothing is showing up just yet. we just have a few high clouds moving into a northern california there once again. is that storm track up in

seattle for us right now, though , we have clear to partly cloudy skies. temperatures is cool out there. the cool spots back down to the forties and fairfield 45 degrees santa rosa 46 lots of fifties closer to the bay and here's our live camera, looking out toward oakland was still lots of clear skies and you can count on lots of sunshine for tomorrow. for your friday maybe a patrick use and fog well inland, but no dense fog advisories. no frost advisories . it is just chilly when you wake up tomorrow morning for your friday mostly clear and cold. here's a big area of high pressure that big ridge wants to build into into northern california. it's going to stick around, so we'll have the same familiar story each and every day with the weather forecast chile overnight with the possibility some frost as you can see here for this weekend, breezy for the hills, and it's a dry weather pattern that storm track is focused up to our north as you can see up and we showed you up toward the seattle they have the rainfall and their forecasts. but. no rain chances for us, and if you had to the south, you have the opposite problem. you have the really dry

conditions and high fire danger . a red flag fire warning until six o'clock tomorrow evening for southern california. the winds will back off a little bit, but still breezy and that dry wind pattern remains in place. lots of sunshine for tomorrow, lots of sixties and a few neighborhoods approaching 70 degrees. for your friday afternoon. as we take a look ahead here, it's going to be the same old story each and every day. it's nice into your saturday. it's warm in the sunday in fact, sunday, probably one of the warmest days of the weekend, that means a few spots could be inching closer to the low seventies and just partly sunny skies monday to tuesday. hopefully we can track some raindrops here in the bay area, but at least for the travel up to the travel plans this weekend, the weather should not get in your way. looks like we'll have lots of sunshine andt outside all weekend long certainly looks good seventies can't believe that. thanks so much for yahoo well, coming up another thanksgiving tradition fans watching football games.

joe fonzi has the highlights coming up next in sports. and then coming up on the 11 o'clock news. the busiest shopping day of the year is upon us at 11 what you need to know about black friday. evening, everyone y

thanksgiving. here's what's happening tonight in sports. two of the nfl's high profile franchises met on this thanksgiving day. two teams that don't play each other that often. dallas hosting the raiders with interim head coach rich beside his team, desperate to end their losing streak that had reached three games on their very first possession, the raiders struck on a big play. derek carr feels his way around the pocket. spots that opened the sean jackson jackson tightropes to sideline and goes 56 yards to the end zone. seven raiders after the raiders are taking a 24 to 13 lead midway

through the third quarter, the cowboys tony pollard took the kick off the goal line. pollard has elaine down the sideline, then just turns on this speed the end zone. no one catches him on a 100 yard return back to one possession game. the game went to overtime tied at 33. after three penalties. daniel carlson was finally down the middle with a 29 yard field goal, and the raiders had ended the losing streak in a game that featured 28 penalties. 14 by each team. the raiders win 36 33. they're back above 506 and five dallas 74 you know you're heading home for buffalo at new orleans tonight, where a bills win would help the 40 niner playoff chances. this game was all buffalo, josh allen threw four touchdown passes. this one did dawson knox to get things started in the first quarter. the bills scored the 1st 24 points of the game. here's allen's fourth touchdown pass, allen doormat brita remember him , rita sprints to the end zone and a 31 to 6 buffalo when the
