Abstract
Methods After discussion within our large group of pulmonary physicians we selected topics under four broad headings. Three of these—COPD, asthma, and lung cancer—were chosen because of the prevalence of the disease. We added a fourth, lung transplantation, because it is the treatment of last resort for several pulmonary diseases. Articles from 1999 onwards were considered.Keywords
