Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue invites original research articles and comprehensive reviews focused on improving the diagnosis and prognostic evaluation of major pulmonary diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, interstitial lung diseases and lung cancer. The aim of this issue is to highlight novel techniques and innovative methodologies that enhance early detection, disease phenotyping, risk stratification and outcome prediction across the spectrum of respiratory disorders.
We particularly welcome contributions employing advanced imaging, molecular and circulating biomarkers, omics approaches, artificial intelligence, machine learning and integrative clinical models, as well as translational and real-world studies with direct clinical relevance. By bringing together cutting-edge methodological advances and disease-specific applications, this Special Issue seeks to foster precision medicine approaches and improve patient management and prognosis in pulmonary diseases.
