J Heart Lung Transplant
October 2024
Background: Pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (PPFE) has no currently available specific treatment. Benefits of lung transplantation (LT) for PPFE are poorly documented.
Methods: We conducted a nation-wide multicentric retrospective study in patients who underwent lung or heart-lung transplantation for chronic end-stage lung disease secondary to PPFE between 2012 and 2022 in France.
Robotic-assisted thoracic surgery training in France: a nation-wide survey from young surgeons.

Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to assess the training of thoracic surgeons-in-training in robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) across France, gathering responses from 101 participants.
- Over half of the trainees had access to robotic systems, with a significant number considering robotic training essential, though only a small percentage had performed a complete procedure independently.
- The findings suggest that training opportunities vary by institution, with higher exposure and performance among fellows at high-volume centers, highlighting the need for increased access and simulation training to improve skills in RATS.
Neuropilin 2 (NRP2), a transmembrane non-tyrosine kinase receptor, has been described as a potential critical player in the tumourigenesis of several solid cancers and particularly in neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs). A soluble form of NRP2 (sNRP2) has been previously described and corresponds to a truncated splice isoform. Its prognostic value has never been studied in NEN.
