Description

On this episode of JHLT: The Podcast, the Digital Media Editors host a discussion on the paper, "Lung transplant in patients with suspicious lung lesions: A single-center retrospective data analysis," which appears in the December issue of JHLT.

They are joined by the senior author, Stefan Schwarz, MD, PhD, of the Department of Thoracic Surgery at the Medical University of Vienna.

The discussion explores:

• Methods used to assess the probability of malignancy in the patient cohort
• The limitations of common scanning methods in assessing this type of transplant patient
• What the study confirms or changes about standards in clinical practice
