Position Statements for Diagnosis and Treatment of Pulmonary Fibrosis

Position Statements for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Pulmonary Fibrosis

Diagnosis and of pulmonary fibrosis is extremely challenging as it requires integration of clinical, radiologic and histopathologic information.

Treatment of pulmonary fibrosis is also difficult as there is no cure for many types, but there are various treatment options and management strategies to stop or slow the progression of the condition and manage symptoms.

We have developed position statements for the diagnosis and management of pulmonary fibrosis in Australia in partnership with the Thoracic Society of Australia and New Zealand and Lung Foundation Australia.
