Since pulmonary pathologies, such as lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), are some of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality around the world, pulmonologists are likely to encounter patients with unmet palliative care needs. This article focuses on the symptoms and complications encountered by patients with terminal pulmonary conditions, briefly describes the non-interventional palliative strategies, and then discusses more advanced therapies available in the realm of interventional pulmonology. Most of the literature discussed here is derived from patients with lung cancer and COPD.
由于肺部疾病（如肺癌和慢性阻塞性肺疾病（COPD））是全球发病率和死亡率的主要原因之一，因此肺病专家可能会遇到未满足的姑息治疗需求的患者。本文重点介绍终末期肺部疾病患者遇到的症状和并发症，简要描述非介入性姑息治疗策略，然后讨论介入肺病学领域中更先进的治疗方法。这里讨论的大部分文献都来自肺癌和 COPD 患者。
