Prise en charge de la dyspnée: Dyspnea management

Abstract

AbstractAmong respiratory symptoms related to primary lung cancer, dyspnea is one of the most frequent. Etiologies are various with, in particular, central airway obstruction, pleural effusions, superior vena cava syndrome, pericardial effusions and pulmonary arteries compression or invasion. Dyspnea management relies, as first intent, on a personalized oncologic treatment, but interventional pulmonology and/or radiology minimally invasive techniques provides remarkable symptomatic improvements at all stages of the disease and not only in palliative care.© 2020 SPLF.
