摘要
Considerable advances in cystic fibrosis (CF) research have translated into improved patient care, reflected by a continuing trend of improving life expectancy in CF patients. This review summarises some of the major findings of CF research that have occurred in the past year. The review specifically focuses on those developments that have direct implications for patient care or those in which clinical trials suggest benefits that may impact on the treatment of CF patients in the near future.
