Interventional Pulmonology fellowship letters of recommendation may contain gendered language (assertive for men, supportive for women), requiring awareness of implicit bias in the selection process.

Provides critical economic data to inform institutional procurement decisions regarding bronchoscopy equipment.

Highlights the importance of long-term surveillance strategies for patients undergoing initial diagnostic bronchoscopy for lung nodules.

Provides insights into training requirements and skill transfer for advanced diagnostic bronchoscopy platforms.

Provides evidence on training requirements and skill transferability for robotic platforms in IP programs.

Introduces a novel energy modality for bronchoscopic ablation, potentially expanding the IP armamentarium for lung cancer treatment.

Pulsed electric field ablation represents a promising, non-thermal alternative for bronchoscopic interventions.

Suggests a potential improvement in diagnostic yield for pleural procedures using advanced imaging guidance.

To achieve a meaningful stage shift in lung cancer mortality, we must move beyond traditional screening and implement automated, standardized, and registry-based follow-up workflows for the millions of incidental pulmonary nodules detected in routine clinical practice.

In this trial, high-flow nasal oxygen did not significantly improve oxygen levels compared to conventional oxygen during rigid medical thoracoscopy.

Introduces a new device option for endoscopic lung volume reduction, potentially expanding the armamentarium for emphysema management.

Hybrid lung volume reduction combining endobronchial valves and contralateral surgery offers a safe, effective option for improving function and quality of life in patients with persistent emphysema. This tailored approach addresses cases where initial valve treatment is insufficient.
