[Tracheal lipoma: An exceptional cause of tracheal tumors].

Introduction: Tracheal tumors are rare, they are most often malignant and can manifest themselves by a non-specific respiratory symptomatology with progressively increasing dyspnea orienting in the first place towards a COPD or even an asthma. Among them, tracheal lipoma is exceptional. Its management is based on removal by rigid bronchoscopy.

Results of Second Round Lung Cancer Screening by Low-Dose CT scan - French Cohort Study (DEP-KP80).

Introduction: Over the last few years, lung cancer screening by low-dose CT scan has demonstrated a decrease in lung cancer mortality. While this method has been in use since 2013 in the United States of America, no European country has yet implemented a systematic screening program. We hereby report the results from the second round of screening from a French cohort study.

Predictive factors for the participation of general practitioners in lung cancer screening by low-dose CT scan in the Somme department in northern France.

Introduction: A study on lung cancer screening using low-dose computed tomography (DEP KP80) was conducted in the Somme department in northern France between May 2016 and December 2018. We conducted a cross-sectional survey of family physicians in that department to identify potential predictive factors for their participation in this pilot study.

Methods: A survey questionnaire was sent to the 545 general practitioners (GPs) of the Somme department.

Lung Cancer Screening by Low-Dose CT Scan: Baseline Results of a French Prospective Study.

Background: Lung cancer mortality has been found to decrease significantly with low-dose (LD) computed tomographic (CT) screening among current or former smokers. However, such a screening program is not implemented in France. This study assessed the feasibility of a lung cancer screening program using LD CT scan in a French administrative territory.

[Anaesthesia for bronchial echoendoscopy: experience with the laryngeal mask].

Introduction: Endobronchial ultrasound guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) has recently been shown to be an accurate modality in the diagnosis and staging of mediastinal lymph node metastases. This procedure takes significantly longer than a conventional bronchoscopy and may therefore cause more discomfort. Since its introduction into respiratory practice in France, several airway management strategies have been used.
