Dear colleagues,

The Asian Pacific Association for Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology (APAB) was established in 2008 with the mission of advancing the art and science of bronchology and interventional pulmonology throughout the Asia-Pacific region. Since the first Asian Pacific Congress for Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology (APCB) was held in Chiba, Japan, in 2005, we have successfully hosted the biennial congress nine times. Recently, the 9th APCB was held in Putrajaya, Malaysia, on 26th – 28th May 2023 with great success. This time, President Prof. Yuh-Min Chen and the Taiwan Society of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine (TSPCCM) would bring the 10th APCB to Taipei.

The theme of the congress was " Shaping the Future of Interventional Pulmonology and Precision Medicine" which aimed to inspire and equip healthcare professionals with the knowledge and tools to lead the future of interventional pulmonology and precision medicine including a variety of lectures, workshops, and hands-on courses on topics related to interventional pulmonology. This congress also will provide essential knowledge to learn from experts in the field of bronchology and interventional pulmonology and to gain insights into the latest techniques and indications. 

Taipei is the center of the Asian Pacific region and flights to Taipei are short (about 3.5 hours from Tokyo, 4.5 hours from Singapore, and about 3-5 hours from other cities). 

We look forward to seeing you there!
