American Association of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology Essential Knowledge in Interventional Pulmonology Series: Update on Curative-Intent Bronchoscopy for Centrally Located Early-Stage Lung Cancer.

The American Association of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology (AABIP) Essential Knowledge in Interventional Pulmonology Series aims to provide clinicians with concise, up-to-date reviews of key topics in the field, presented on a 3-year rotating cycle. The 2024 series focused on therapeutic bronchoscopy. In this article, we provide an update on curative-intent bronchoscopy for centrally located early-stage lung cancer, including a review of bronchoscopic imaging modalities for disease detection and current management techniques. These reviews are designed to complement the Essential Knowledge in Interventional Pulmonology Lecture Series delivered at the 2024 AABIP Annual Conference, which is available for viewing on the AABIP website: https://aabip.memberclicks.net/essential-knowledge-in-interventional-pulmonology-series.
