Opis

This volume addresses all areas of interventional pulmonology. It outlines the many issues related to lung cancer and also covers bronchoscopic therapeutic options to benign conditions that are highly prevalent, such as COPD and asthma.

Recenzje

"The book is aimed primarily at interventional pulmonologists in training and in practice. However, the book would be equally useful for general pulmonologists in training and practice, as well as a reference for other medical practitioners. The book meets the needs of its intended audience. The contributors are well-known contemporary authorities on the different subjects, and most are extensively published and successful academicians. ... I  highly recommend this book to all pulmonologists who wield a bronchoscope." (Santosh Dhungana, Doody's Book Reviews, March, 2018)

This new edition offers comprehensive coverage of all areas of interventional pulmonology, a minimally invasive endoscopic method for diagnosing and treating lung disorders. The text is divided into eight sections on the major areas of interventional pulmonology, including basic endoscopy, lung cancer staging, and interventional bronschoscopy in asthma and emphysema. Chapters then explore specific procedures and techniques, including medical thoracoscopy, flexible and rigid bronchoscopy, endobronchial ultrasound, and electromagnetical navigation with coverage of history, indications and contraindications, and up-to-date evidence-based reviews. In recent years there have been many advances in interventional pulmonology, the most significant relating to lung cancer early diagnosis and late-stage treatment. Two new chapters on lung cancer epidemiologic changes and personalized lung cancer treatment explore new methods for maximizing patient care for an increasingly prevalent disease. This inclusive volume concludes with a look towards the future of interventional pulmonology and experimental techniques currently being tested. Interventions in Pulmonary Medicine, Second Edition, is a must have for pulmonologists, endoscopists, pulmonary oncologists, ENT physicians, thoracic surgeons, anesthesiologists, and intensive care specialists and their teams.
