Originally Published 2 years ago — by ABC News
Northwestern Medicine has successfully performed double lung transplants on two patients with end-stage lung cancer using a new technique that minimizes the risk of cancer spreading during the procedure. The hospital is now launching a clinical program for people with end-stage lung disease, offering double lung transplants as a treatment option. The program will follow the outcomes of its first 75 patients who receive double lung transplants for lung cancer in a new research registry called DREAM.
