Intravenous (IV) antibiotics are commonly used in the treatment of acute deteriorations in symptoms (pulmonary exacerbations); however, recently the assumption that exacerbations are due to increases in bacterial burden has been questioned. This is an update of a previously published review.

Background: Lung transplantation (LuTX) can be the last resort for patients with end-stage lung diseases. In the last decades, improvements were implemented in transplant medicine, from immunosuppression throughout preservation of the donor organ to enhance lung allograft survival. This retrospective study aims to illustrate the development of the LuTX-program at the University Hospital of Munich, LMU, Munich, Germany, since its launch in 1990 by depicting and comparing postoperative outcome.

Background: Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is critical for patients with lung cancer due to poor prognosis. We presented patient-reported outcomes in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) brain metastases (BM) who received whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) in combination with erlotinib or WBRT alone in the phase 3 ENTER study.

Methods: The patients' HRQoL was assessed by using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer 30-item Core Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30).

Background: Amivantamab has been approved for EGFR exon 20 insertion-mutated non-small-cell lung cancer. The aim of this study was to perform an in-depth analysis of its safety profile.

Research Design And Methods: Safety reports were collected from the database of the Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System from April 2021 to September 2023, and the reporting odds ratio (ROR) method was used to detect potential safety signals.

Introduction And Importance: Comprehensive reports on surgery for metachronous multiple primary lung cancers after the third or subsequent surgeries are lacking. Herein, we report a case in which six radical surgeries were performed for metachronous primary lung cancer.

Case Presentation: The patient was a 62-year-old man when he underwent his first surgery, a right lower lobectomy, and the pathological diagnosis was adenocarcinoma.
