Lung Disease Summit 2025

Lung Disease Summit 2025 is organized by Columbia University Irving Medical Center (CUIMC), Department of Surgery and will be held on Sep 18, 2025 at Vivian and Seymour Milstein Family Heart Center, New York, United States of America.

Description:
2025 Advanced Respiratory Disease and Lung Transplant Summit
The summit aims to provide a comprehensive platform for healthcare professionals, researchers, and specialists to discuss recent developments in the field of advanced lung disease, including state-of-the-art therapies for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the latest diagnostic and treatment approaches to interstitial lung disease (ILD), novel treatments for cystic fibrosis (CF) and non-CF bronchiectasis, lung cancer, asthma, and multi-modality management of pulmonary hypertension (PH). We will highlight the importance of multi-disciplinary care of these complex patients with medical co-morbidities, including advanced therapies for lung disease (ECMO, LVRS, BLVR, atrial septostomy, Potts shunt) and the key therapeutic role of lung transplantation. By highlighting the latest research and technological advancements, the program seeks to enhance understanding and collaboration within the medical community. We will employ interactive presentations, including case discussions and a mock multi-disciplinary team meeting, with audience participation through audience response elements embedded into the lectures.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand evidence-based diagnostic approaches and interventions for the management of patients with various lung diseases including ILD, COPD, asthma, CF and non-CF bronchiectasis, PH, and lung cancer.
• Identify appropriate indications for referral and evaluation for advanced therapies such as ECMO, LVRS, BLVR and lung transplantation among patients with advanced lung diseases.
• Discuss the pharmacologic, surgical and other treatment options for patients with advanced lung diseases.
