It will cover the entire breath of Respiratory Medicine and Thoracic Surgery, with the main emphasis being on early diagnosis and how this can impact subsequent treatment. This Special Issue aims to cover early diagnosis ranging from screening, biomarkers and imaging to diagnostics, interventions and treatment modalities. The target audience is, but is not limited to, respiratory physicians, thoracic surgeons, scientists, allied healthcare professionals. Early diagnosis is now fundamental in respiratory medicine, with the potential to become a game changer in the long-term management of lung and pleural diseases.
