CHEST 2023 On Demand Pass-Rapid-Fire Topics in Lung Cancer and Pulmonary Procedures

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this session on lung cancer and pulmonary procedures, a panel of experts discussed various topics related to interventional pulmonology. The panel discussed the use of biomarkers in clinical practice, and while there is still limited data to support their use, they believe that biomarkers could potentially be helpful in risk stratifying patients. They also discussed the diagnostic yield of different pulmonary procedures, such as guided bronchoscopy, and agreed that there is a need for more comparative studies to determine the most effective techniques. The panel also touched on the use of new technologies, such as robots and AI, in bronchoscopy. While these technologies may offer benefits, they emphasized the importance of generating clinical evidence to support their use. Finally, the panel discussed the challenges of introducing new technology into clinical practice, highlighting the need for a balance between innovation and generating robust clinical data. Overall, the panel provided valuable insights into the current state of interventional pulmonology and the potential future direction of the field.
