[Lung cancer screening : towards the implementation of a pilot project in Switzerland].

Lung cancer is responsible for one in five cancer-related deaths. Screening for lung cancer using low-dose chest CT (LDCT) is supported by several international studies targeting the at-risk population as part of an organised programme. Given the organisational challenges for the healthcare systems of the countries concerned, this involves setting up pilot screening projects.

[Pulmonary fibrosis and lung cancer: between complementarities and specificities].

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality in the developed world. Diffuse fibrosing interstitial lung disease (ILD) consist of a heterogeneous group that includes idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Diffuse ILD is a risk factor for the development of lung cancer which on its own is associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality.

[Diagnostic approach to pulmonary complications in patients with hematologic malignancy].

Hematologic malignancies are heterogeneous group of neoplasia, with frequent pulmonary complications. These complications may be secondary to the patient's comorbidities, to the hemopathy itself or its treatments. Divided into infectious and non-infectious complications, the etiologies are numerous and varied.

[Hot tub lung: A retrospective analysis of 14 cases].

Introduction: Hot tub lung (HTL) is a hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) related to inhalation of non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) when exposed to ejected jet droplets from a jacuzzi. The aetiological debate is not completely settled in the literature.

Method: An observational study of 14 cases of HTL, diagnosed at the University Hospital of Besançon, France, between 2004 and 2018 according to the diagnostic criteria used in the clinic.

[Diagnostic approach to chronic dyspnea in adults].

Dyspnea is a symptom resulting from a complex interaction between multiple mechanisms that are not fully understood to this day. Chronic dyspnea is defined as dyspnea lasting more than one month and this symptom is commonly seen in primary care. Cardio-respiratory pathologies account for approximately 85 % of all cases of dyspnea.
