Demonstrates successful double lung transplantation in cancer history patients, suggesting potential for broader eligibility.

To evaluate the outcomes of double lung transplantation in patients with a recent history of malignancy.
Identified eligible patients with respiratory failure and malignancy history treated with DLT from 09/2021 to 01/2026.
Used the DREAM study cohort C to investigate lung-limited malignancies.
Followed patients with computed tomography every 12 weeks.
19 patients underwent DLT; median age was 54, with various cancer histories.
No transplant rejection occurred, and all patients were discharged on room air.
Median overall survival after transplantation was 21 months, with 3 deaths occurring due to respiratory failure or cardiac arrest.

Chae et al. (2026) studied this question.
