Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Thoracic diseases continue to be a significant healthcare burden in both medical and surgical disciplines. In recent years, the epidemiology of pulmonary pathologies has continued to evolve, particularly in the realm of infectious and neoplastic diseases. Advances in imaging, molecular diagnostics, and point-of-care technologies have enabled earlier and more precise diagnoses, while novel medical and surgical treatments are reshaping the therapeutic landscape and improving patient outcomes. This second edition of the Special Issue “Clinical Management, Diagnosis and Treatment of Thoracic Diseases” builds upon the success of the first, offering an updated platform on which to explore emerging diagnostic strategies, minimally invasive interventions, and integrated care pathways in pulmonary medicine. It is intended for a broad range of specialists engaged in the management of chest diseases and aims to highlight the latest innovations and evidence-based approaches in this dynamic and rapidly progressing field.
