Patients with advanced lung cancer experience a high symptom burden with great impact upon functional status and quality of life and poor long-term survival. Respiratory symptoms, like dyspnea, cough, and hemoptysis, are highly prevalent and cause profound distress at the time of diagnosis and as disease progresses. This review discusses common reversible causes of dyspnea and examines pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic approaches to symptom management of dyspnea, cough, and hemoptysis.
晚期肺癌患者症状负担重，对功能状态和生活质量影响极大，长期生存率低。呼吸症状，如呼吸困难、咳嗽和咯血，非常普遍，在诊断时以及疾病进展过程中会引起极大痛苦。本综述讨论了呼吸困难常见的可逆病因，并探讨了针对呼吸困难、咳嗽和咯血症状管理的药物和非药物方法。
