The Program Committee solicited input from the membership in March 2008. Based on that input and critiques of recent companion meetings, they submitted a proposal to the PPS Council on the topic of smoking-related pulmonary pathology. A preliminary program, including talks on clinico-radio-pathologic correlation, carcingoenesis and small airway disease, was discussed during the PPS Business Meeting. The specific goal of the meeting is to inform the audience of the most recent advances in understanding of smoking-related pulmonary pathology. The organizers searched the most recent literature for the most important advances and polled the membership to determine topics. Pulmonary pathologists are faced with diagnostic quandaries in the areas of smoking related lung disease, including small airway obstruction and carcinogenesis. The objective is to enhance the understanding of the pathobiology of these entities and to improve their differential diagnosis.
