[Annual progress of interventional pulmonology in 2025]

In 2025, interventional pulmonology continues to progress rapidly through technological innovation and multidisciplinary integration, playing an increasingly prominent role in the diagnosis and management of respiratory diseases. Significant developments are primarily reflected in the maturation of navigational and robotic bronchoscopy technologies, the emergence of transbronchial interventional ablation as a key therapeutic modality for peripheral lung cancer, the expanding repertoire of interventional techniques offering more treatment options for patients with airway diseases, and the transformative potential introduced by artificial intelligence and regenerative medicine. Together, these advances are steering interventional pulmonology toward greater efficiency, precision, intelligence, and personalization.
