Current and future treatment of cystic fibrosis

Publication at Second Faculty of Medicine |

Abstract

The aim of new methods in cystic fibrosis treatment is to supplement not to replace classical cystic fibrosis treatment. New methods of therapy are focused on modifying the quality of mucus by means of altered ion transport, suppressing infection and fighting inflamma-tion.

Searching for, preventing, and treating complications are important parts of the treatment. There is a general consensus that modern intensive centralized therapy will improve not only the survival but also the quality of life of cystic fibrosis patients.
