Lung refrigerator aids cancer patient transplant at Northwestern
Chicago surgeons used a new lung refrigerator to store donor lungs at 50 degrees for up to 18 hours, enabling longer transport and flexible scheduling. The technology is now common at Northwestern Medicine, boosting donor access, cutting wait times, and supporting the DREAM program for cancer patients. Todd Crosslin, a Stage 4 colorectal cancer survivor, received new lungs in September and reports no detectable cancer.
