This was later expanded in the World Health Organisation's his-tological classification of lung tumours of 1967.'

Lung donor selection and management.

Lung transplantation is still limited by the shortage of suitable donor organs. This results in long waiting times for listed patients with a substantial risk (10-15%) of dying before transplantation. All efforts to increase donor awareness through legislation, public campaigns, and training of transplant coordinators and medical ICU staff should be encouraged. Only a minority of cadaveric dono...
