Bilateral lung transplant for bronchioloalveolar carcinoma: first case in China.

Abstract
Because of the potential risk of recurrence and dissemination, lung carcinoma is rarely considered an indication for lung transplant, but as the technique has improved, novel end-stage pulmonary diseases can be treated successfully. Experience in lung transplant for patients with lung carcinoma has shown that select patients may benefit from this therapy. In this report, we examine the case of a bilateral lung transplant in a young man with bilateral bronchioloalveolar carcinoma. This report suggests that bilateral lung transplant might be an efficient therapeutic option for select patients with lung carcinoma.
