Policlinico Gemelli IRCCS di Roma

Pulmonology

The Comprehensive Pulmonology Unit adopts a broad-spectrum and ultra-specialized approach to pleuro-pulmonary diseases, with a particular focus on pulmonary fibrosis. Our unit is dedicated to the clinical and therapeutic management of respiratory diseases.

Our Respiratory Disease Center (CEMAR) hosts clinics for pulmonary fibrosis, sarcoidosis, bronchiectasis, and sleep disorders. The center utilizes traditional technologies such as spirometry, carbon monoxide diffusion, the walking test, and exhaled nitric oxide measurement. The core of CEMAR is the STAR (Respiratory Teleassistance Service), which provides additional support for patients, especially those residing outside the region. Teleassistance helps reduce the stress and costs associated with medical commuting while ensuring continuous and safe patient follow-up.

The diseases treated at our center include:

  • Primary and secondary lung neoplasms
  • Pulmonary interstitial diseases, with a focus on idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
  • Obstructive diseases and chronic acute airway infections (bronchial asthma, emphysema, sarcoidosis, COPD, and bronchiectasis)
  • Pleural diseases (pneumothorax, effusions, infections, and neoplasms)
  • Respiratory involvement in neuromusculoskeletal diseases
  • Post-COVID conditions
  • Sleep respiratory disorders
  • Respiratory and motor rehabilitation for critical respiratory patients
