In the field of pneumology, the year 2015 was once again rich in new developments, of which we provide a non-exhaustive list in this article. They concern pathophysiological mechanisms especially in sleep apnea, in addition to diagnostic and curative features. The diagnostic advances include the new reference values for spirometry, the contribution of cryobiopsy to the diagnosis of diffuse interstitial lung diseases, the assessment of bronchiectasis in adults, etc. Regarding treatments, we have chosen to focus on the advances in drug and non-drug management of asthma, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, emphysema, and bronchial cancer.
