Dr. Martinez and Colleagues Highlighted in NYP’s Advances Newsletter: Multipronged Management of Interstitial Lung Disease


Dr. Fernando J. Martinez, Chief, Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, WDOM, and colleagues have been highlighted in NewYork-Presbyterian’s Advances newsletter for their cutting-edge work on the multipronged management of interstitial lung disease (ILD). With more than 200 pulmonary disorders that fall under the umbrella of ILD, patient evaluation, proper diagnosis, and determining the best treatment is of the utmost importance. Dr. Martinez and colleagues (Drs. Robert J. Kaner, Anna J. Podolanczuk, Hasina Outtz Reed, Kerri I. Aronson) are forging a new paradigm to confront idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and other progressive fibrotic ILDs. Their robust approach includes state-of-the-art diagnosis, clinical trials (e.g., PRECISIONS), and research studies.
