Lung cancer remains the most common malignancy and is recognized as having significant impact on quality of life. Advances in lung cancer treatment over the past decade have been significant, with new agents extending life, even in late-stage disease. The purpose of this study was to evaluate palliative care needs and use of supportive care services in a randomly selected sample (N = 99) of patients with lung cancer. Results indicated that despite treatment advances, these patients continue to have significant symptom and quality of life concerns and to receive limited palliative care or supportive care services. Integration of palliative care is needed in the new era of lung cancer treatment.
肺癌仍然是最常见的恶性肿瘤，被认为对生活质量有重大影响。在过去十年中，肺癌治疗取得了重大进展，新的药物甚至在晚期疾病中也延长了患者的生命。本研究的目的是评估随机选择的肺癌患者样本（N=99）的姑息治疗需求和支持性护理服务的使用情况。结果表明，尽管治疗取得了进展，但这些患者仍然存在严重的症状和生活质量问题，并且接受的姑息治疗或支持性护理服务有限。在肺癌治疗的新时代，需要整合姑息治疗。
