In this episode, experts discuss the challenges of diagnosing and managing refractory chronic cough—a persistent cough that is often misunderstood and mismanaged. Drawing on findings from a recent CHEST/GSK survey, the conversation highlights gaps in patient evaluation, current treatment barriers, and opportunities to improve care through standardized protocols, better history-taking, and greater awareness of emerging therapies.

A man in his late 60s enters a lung cancer screening program and is found to have a 4.5 cm tumor—stage II by size, with high-stakes decisions ahead. The case seems to point toward modern perioperative therapy, until biomarker testing changes everything. In this episode, host Lisa Moores, MD, FCCP, is joined by CHEST Guideline Chair John Howington, MD, MBA, FCCP, and oncologist Natasha Leighl, MD, to show how multidisciplinary care—and molecular results—can reroute the entire treatment journey.
They discuss why nodal staging matters, when perioperative therapy improves outcomes, and how biomarker-driven choices can reshape the safest path, while still leaving room for shared decision-making.

A woman in her early 60s, who never smoked in her lifetime, is diagnosed with stage II lung cancer after an abnormal chest X-ray—and believes surgery has ended the story. But postoperative pathology and molecular testing open a new chapter of therapy designed to lower recurrence risk. In this episode, host Lisa Moores, MD, FCCP, is joined by CHEST Guideline Chair John Howington, MD, MBA, FCCP, and medical oncologist Natasha Leighl, MD, to unpack how stage II decisions continue long after the operating room.
They explore how staging and lymph node assessment shape what comes next; how targeted therapy can fit into survivorship; and how to counsel patients weighing work, travel, side effects, and the emotional whiplash of “I’m cured… unless I’m not.”

A 49-year-old individual who never smoked learns a routine scan has uncovered a suspicious lung lesion—low PET uptake, a negative bronchoscopy, and “stable” imaging… yet clinical instincts say, “Don’t ignore this.” In this story-driven episode, host Lisa Moores, MD, FCCP, is joined by CHEST Guideline Chair John Howington, MD, MBA, FCCP, and thoracic surgeon Sudish Murthy, MD, PhD, FCCP, to walk through what to do when the data conflict and the stakes are real.
Together, they translate the CHEST guideline “guardrails” into bedside decision-making: when surveillance stops being safe, why minimally invasive surgery matters, and how lung-sparing resection can deliver an oncologically sound plan while preserving future options.

In this episode, host Doreen Addrizzo-Harris, MD, FCCP, is joined by Keren Bakal, MD, and Amy Springer, MSN, FNP-C, to explore initial treatment strategies for bronchiectasis and nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) pulmonary disease. The conversation delves into the critical role of airway clearance therapy, challenges in selecting individualized treatments, and the importance of patient education. The experts also discuss the latest guidelines for managing nodular and cavitary NTM lung disease, including when to initiate treatment vs monitoring, as well as strategies for managing common drug toxicities. Additionally, they examine comorbidities often seen in patients with bronchiectasis, such as gastrointestinal disorders, sinus disease, and psychosocial factors like anxiety and depression.

“I learned how scary it was to be on that side of medicine... I had gone from being a healthy doctor to a patient with cancer, and I had a lot of anxiety about reentering the world, especially as a doctor.”
In a recording of a live performance from the CHEST 2023 annual meeting in Honolulu, Lilit Sargsyan, MD, FCCP, shares her experience in the health care system as a patient with thyroid cancer.
Dr. Sargsyan had to advocate for herself—and fight too hard, she said—to receive the tests and care she knew she needed. As a physician, she was in a place of privilege to do that. But it changed her entire outlook as a medical professional.
Listen to her story of how she overcame the feelings of fear, anger, and anxiety to reclaim her life—and her voice.

After nearly 3 years of low disease burden, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and influenza are infecting children at extraordinarily high levels, leading to frequent hospitalizations and overburdened children’s hospitals around the world.
During prior waves of the COVID-19 pandemic, pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) supported adult critical care by admitting younger adults. In this webinar, experts discuss the epidemiology and clinical management of RSV infection in the PICU. They also discuss how adult ICUs can return the favor to PICUs, assisting with the care of critically ill adolescents and helping preserve systems of care for all children.
Moderator: Ryan C. Maves, MD, FCCP
Panelists: Mary A. King, MD, MPH, and Deanna Behrens, MD

The Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918 has in many ways guided the public health, economic, and social responses to the current COVID-19 pandemic. Most of those “lessons learned” proved useful, many perhaps not, and certainly, some have been controversial. This episode examines historical lessons from 1918, how they played out for COVID-19, and how these two pandemics will help us (hopefully) prepare for the next one.

Patients with COVID-19 have an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), but the best strategy for the prevention and care of VTE remains elusive. Observational studies have suggested that empiric full anticoagulation in patients with COVID-19 is ineffective or indeed harmful.

In this episode, our panel of experts review the newest data and provide insights on how we can best care for patients in this next phase of the pandemic.
