Pulmonary care is evolving rapidly, from earlier detection strategies to new minimally invasive therapies and expanding access to clinical trials.

In the latest issue of the Temple Lung Center Magazine, leading experts share how these advancements are being translated into patient care across COPD, lung transplantation, and more.

Inside this issue:

• Leveraging AI to transform LDCT scans into a multi-disease diagnostic platform and to accelerate the detection and treatment of pulmonary embolism
• Integrating pulmonary perspectives with oncology and surgical teams to drive  coordinated decision-making for thoracic malignancies
• Scaling lung transplant volume with advanced surgical techniques and patient-centered eligibility approaches
• Advancing PE care through AI and breakthrough research, demonstrating early intervention improves outcomes, reduces complications, and is shaping future treatment standards
• Transforming progressive pulmonary fibrosis care through advanced diagnostics, emerging therapies and clinical trials, and multidisciplinary, patient-centered models
• Expanding treatment options for patients with COPD

Together, these efforts reflect a broader shift in pulmonary medicine - toward earlier diagnosis, more personalized interventions, and expanded access to advanced care.
