Episode 81: Lung Cancer after Lung Transplant

Apr 1, 2026

JHLT: The Podcast kicks off April with a discussion of the paper, “Lung Cancer After Lung Transplantation: Early Detection and Curative Surgery Drive Long-Term Survival,” which appears in the April issue of JHLT.

Senior author Pauline Pradère, MD, of Hôpital Marie Lannelongue in Paris, joins the episode to talk about the paper.

The conversation includes discussion of:

• The overall survival of patients who develop lung cancer after lung transplant—and the key differences between the cohort of patients who developed cancer versus the patients who did not
• Managing lung cancer in transplant recipients
• Immunosuppression in these patients, and other potential changes to clinical practice derived from the study
