This is an exciting time in the care of people with cystic fibrosis (CF). There are now more adults than children living with CF, and highly effective modulator therapies are poised to dramatically improve outcomes. We offer this book to medical students, residents, and seasoned clinicians wishing for state-of-the-art reviews on all aspects of CF care. Unique features of the book include patients and parents perspectives in many of the chapters, as well as chapters on health disparities and mental health. The book covers major pulmonary and non-pulmonary manifestations of CF as well as advanced lung disease and lung transplantation. There is also a section on the molecular genetics of CF and treatment of the basic defect. Because many excellent reviews on CFTR modulators are readily available, this section covers gene editing and small molecules instead. We dedicate this book to our patients and their families who have inspired and taught us so much.

I am truly grateful for Sam, Harrison, Jackson, and Parker for their incredible love and support.
