title: Cystic fibrosis.
abstract: The past few years have seen amazing progress in our understanding of the underlying cellular and molecular bases of CF. This new understanding has raised hopes for improved treatments in the very near future. These new treatments are expected to improve even further the prognosis for survival in this disorder, which has improved nearly 1 year for every passing year over the past two decades. The future for patients with CF is brighter than ever.
