Lung Diseases and Cancer

Lung Diseases and Cancer

The coexistence of lung disease and cancer in the same person is a frequent occurrence. Evidence suggests that this coexistence sometimes goes beyond chance; in fact, both disease types are associated and the presence of one can be a risk factor or a protective factor for the other. In this Monograph, the Guest Editors bring together renowned clinical and scientific experts to provide an exhaustive review of the bidirectional relationship between respiratory diseases and cancer (not just lung cancer). The chapters: explore the common causal pathways of cancer and lung disease; consider the diseases from an epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic point of view; and discuss the many ways in which they interact to influence patient management. The result is a book that will generate a better understanding of this relationship, giving rise to a greater awareness of the possible development of lung disease in people with cancer, and of the different types of cancer that are frequently seen in those with lung diseases.

Pulmonary Rehabilitation

Pulmonary rehabilitation is an effective treatment for people with a range of chronic lung diseases. In recent years, there have been substantial advances in the science underpinning pulmonary rehabilitation. Advances have been seen in the patient groups in whom it is indicated; in the breadth of programme content; in new methods of delivery; and not least, in important outcomes. This Monograph brings together scientific and clinical expertise in pulmonary rehabilitation, with the aim of optimising its delivery in clinical practice.

Rare Diseases of the Respiratory System

Rare Diseases of the Respiratory System

Diagnosing rare diseases can be challenging, and treating these conditions is complex because of their often quite specific needs and treatment options. To address this, the European Respiratory Society (ERS) has published Rare Diseases of the Respiratory System. Structured into thematic sections, the book covers: the identification of rare diseases of the respiratory system and their differential diagnosis; rare diseases of the lung interstitium; rare diseases of the airways or alveoli; and rare pulmonary vascular diseases. The Guest Editors and authors belong to and/or support the vision and mission of the European Reference Network for Rare Diseases of the Respiratory System (ERN-LUNG), which offers expert support to both patients and professionals. As such, this comprehensive book will prove an excellent resource for healthcare professionals, researchers and students interested in rare diseases of the respiratory system.

Sarcoidosis

Recent reports indicate that the prevalence of sarcoidosis is rising and mortality in chronic sarcoidosis patients is increasing. With myriad clinical manifestations, and multi-system involvement, there is a need for all clinicians to have a working knowledge of the condition. This Monograph provides a comprehensive overview of the most recent advances in sarcoidosis. Opening with chapters on history, epidemiology and pathobiology, it goes on to provide in-depth coverage of: specific organ manifestations and general diagnostic pathways; traditional as well as innovative treatment strategies; and, importantly, patient quality-of-life assessment. This book will be useful to clinicians around the world.

Digital Respiratory Healthcare

Digital Respiratory Healthcare

Respiratory care is undergoing a period of major change as it cautiously begins to embrace digital transformation. Catalysed by the need for remote consultation in the pandemic, time-honoured approaches to delivering care are now being challenged by technology-based initiatives. This Monograph deftly guides the reader through the potential benefits and pitfalls of such change, breaking the discussion down into three areas: technological opportunities and regulatory challenges ; social benefits, challenges and implications; exemplars of digital healthcare. Each chapter reviews contemporary literature and considers not ‘if’ but ‘how’ a digital respiratory future can provide optimal care. The result is an authoritative, balanced guide to developing digital respiratory health.

COPD in the 21st Century

COPD remains a major cause of ill health, disability, healthcare costs and premature mortality. Scientists and clinicians across many countries have made great efforts to understand this important disease, and these have yielded positive results. This Monograph provides an up-to-date overview of what is happening in this exciting field, both at a basic and a clinical level. Beginning, crucially, with the patient’s perspective, the chapters that follow consider the best way to define COPD, changes in the disease’s incidence and prevalence, and offer new insights into the role of the microbiome in COPD, advances in imaging and treatment options, both pharmacological and non-pharmacological. Taken together, these chapters are an important contribution to the Monograph series and the COPD field in general.

Inequalities in Respiratory Health

Health inequalities have long been deeply engrained in society. If we are to address these inequalities, we need to reflect on what has driven them, and critically review the approaches that do and do not work. This Monograph brings together leading experts and up-and-coming researchers, in a collection of state-of-the-art articles, discussing the drivers and consequences of respiratory inequality.

Eosinophilic Lung Diseases

A great deal of knowledge about eosinophilic lung diseases has been gained in the last few years, but unanswered questions concerning eosinophil biology still remain. It is in this context that this Monograph was developed. Broad in scope, the book bases its approach to the management of eosinophilic lung diseases on a fundamental understanding of eosinophil biology in health and disease. State-of-the-art reviews written by world-leading authorities and up-and-coming stars in the field take the reader on a journey through the different eosinophilic lung diseases. This Monograph will ensure the practicing clinician is better equipped to recognise and treat patients with eosinophilia, as well as appreciate the advances coming in the near future.
