Severe Pulmonary Emphysema:
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is, of 2024, one of the three main causes of death in the world, affecting around 12% of the world's population. Its incidence is estimated to increase in the coming decades due to continuous exposure to risk factors and to an aging population. Pulmonary emphysema is one of its most serious phenotypes, with chronic and inexorable progression and, in the most severe stages, it is highly disabling and lethal. This book reviews knowledge about the pathophysiology of severe pulmonary emphysema and the current innovative interventional and minimally invasive therapeutic concepts for the management of these advanced stages of emphysema, based on the best scientific evidence. This guide provides to multidisciplinary pulmonary boards of experts in advanced lung diseases, current criteria for the choice of precision therapeutic options and beyond to maintaining optimized medical treatment to controlling lung hyperinflation, and alleviating patients' symptoms. This book is a valuable resource for clinicians dealing with critically ill patients with COPD.

Divided into six sections, the contributors look at the aetiology of cancer, patient care, population health and thethe management of specific types of disease. Written and edited by internationally recognised leaders in the field, the new edition of the Oxford Textbook of Oncology has been fully revised and updated, taking into consideration the advancements in each of the major therapeutic areas, and representing the multidisciplinary management of cancer. Structured in six sections, the book provides an accessible scientific basis to the key topics of oncology, examining how cancer cells grow and...
A Case-Based Approach to Interventional Pulmonology: A Focus on Asian Perspectives
A Case-Based Approach to Interventional Pulmonology: A Focus on Asian Perspectives focuses on various aspects of Interventional Pulmonology (IP) based on clinical case scenarios. Today, evidence-based medicine and statistics are ruling our daily practice. Thus, each case is unique regardless of what the theory predicts. This asian perspective of Interventional Pulmonology (IP) is also of great importance, given the differences in the etiologies compared to other regions of the world. Asia being the leading region in terms of population and the high incidence of certain airway and lung diseases, is an amazing source for fundamental and clinical research. The contents of the book have been div...
Principles and Practice of Interventional Pulmonology
Principles and Practice of Interventional Pulmonology provides a comprehensive text covering all aspects of Interventional Pulmonology. Providing both pathophysiologic background as well as illustrated and clear instruction on how procedures ought to be performed, this text will be of great value to interventional pulmonologists, thoracic surgeons, surgical oncologists, and interventional radiologists.
Role of SRS/SBRT in Oligometastatic Disease
Oligometastatic disease represents an intermediate state between the early localized disease and widespread metastatic malignancy. Some patients with oligometastatic disease, treated by ablative therapies to all sites of metastatic disease, can achieve long disease-free survival and sometimes cure. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) are accepted treatment options for these patients, achieving high rates of local control. While most of the studies report outcomes of SBRT for solitary oligometastasis, patients with oligometastatic disease might present with multiple concurrent lesions either in the same organ or in neighboring organs. There are few s...

Video-Assisted Surgery in Oncology
Cancer is a leading cause of death and main contributor for disease burden globally. To treat the majority of cancer types, surgery is the only curable strategy for patients at an earlier stage; it also can be used for palliative care when patients are at a later stage. Video-assisted surgery (VAS) has been introduced for decades, as a safe and effective method to treat diseases, including cancer. Compared to open surgery, the traditional type of surgery, VAS allows resection to be minimally invasive, contributing to better intra- and post-operative patient outcomes, especially for faster recovery. With the benefits, a higher utilization of healthcare services to the public can be achieved, including a shorter hospitalization for the patients.

Lung Transplantation
Once considered an experimental therapy, lung transplantation is now regarded as a viable treatment option for selected patients with end-stage lung diseases. As more and more of these cases arise, it becomes imperative for those involved in the care of lung transplant patients to have a vast understanding of the multidiscipline process of lung tra
