What are the interstitial lung diseases? How do they present, and what can you do about them? Interstitial just means within the tissue, and so these are scarring processes within the lung. So, what differentiates UVA lung disease treatment, without a doubt, itŐs our level of sub-specialization. The attraction for an academic center really surrounds getting at that sub-specialty level. And, so, within our division, we really have all the bases covered. When they see a doc on the outside that sees this disease five times a year, or they come to us where we see it five times a day, theyŐre going to get a different level of care in regards to those very important aspects. ThatŐs going to alter how they feel.
