On August 9, 2016The Endoscopy Division of FUJIFILM Medical Systems U.S.A., Inc. reported that it will sponsor a complimentary online educational webinar for thoracic surgeons, interventional pulmonologists, pulmonologists, nurse practitioners and physician assistants entitled "Lung Cancer: The State of the Disease" on Thursday, August 25th from 2PM-3PM EST (Press release, Fujifilm, AUG 9, 2016, View Source [SID:1234514465]). David Feller-Kopman, MD, Director of Bronchoscopy & Interventional Pulmonology at Johns Hopkins Hospital and Associate Professor of Medicine & Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, Johns Hopkins University will deliver the presentation and also participate in a Q&A session.
More people die every year from lung cancer than from colon, breast and prostate cancer combined. Dr. Feller-Kopman’s presentation will focus on the epidemiology of lung cancer, as well as the very latest on screening trends, diagnosis, staging, and treatment.
"Lung cancer is an epidemic, and physicians and healthcare professionals must take the lead in improving outcomes for patients," said Dr. Feller-Kopman. "During this webinar, I will cover research, trends and ways to improve the quality of life for patients with lung cancer, including the use of EBUS, a highly valuable tool in the staging of lung cancer."
Dr. Feller-Kopman’s research over the years has focused on pleural pathophysiology and the evaluation and management of patients with lung cancer. He regularly uses Fujifilm’s Endobronchial Ultrasound System (EBUS) in his lab work as well as with patients. He has published more than 150 original investigations and review articles and has trained 13 fellows in interventional pulmonology. He is the immediate past president of the American Association for Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology (AABIP), the past chair of the Interventional Chest / Diagnostic Procedure Network of the American College of Clinical Pharmacy (ACCP) and an active member of the American Thoracic Society (ATS) Thoracic Oncology Assembly.
Medical professionals in the field of pulmonology have recognized Fujifilm’s innovative Endobronchial Ultrasound System (EBUS)—specifically designed for supporting advanced diagnosis and staging within the lungs—for its performance and high-quality imaging.
