The 2017 European Respiratory Society Congress will take place at the Mico Milano Congressi from Saturday 9 September to Wednesday 13 September, 2017.
The Congress will be attended by the world's leading respiratory experts and professionals who will be presenting the latest cutting-edge research in a large and varied scientific programme.
Over 4,000 abstracts will cover areas such as lung cancer, tuberculosis (TB), children's lung health, personalised medicine, e-cigarettes, antibiotic resistance and risk factors for lung disease.
Here are examples of some of the new research to be presented at the Congress:

An opening press conference on the most exciting new research will be held on Sunday 10 September at 10:00 (CET). More information on the content of the press conference will be available nearer the time and contained in future media alerts.
