Lung transplantation outcome in adult surfactant-related interstitial lung disease: first evidence to move on

Effrosyni D Manali et al. ERJ Open Res. .

Abstract

A new study reports the first evidence to "move on" with lung transplantation in adult surfactant-related fibrotic ILDs. It highlights the need for better genetic characterisation of transplant candidates and cancer screening for these patients. https://bit.ly/3QxG73Z.
