O envolvimento pulmonar no cancro é um sinal
de mau prognóstico. A frequência dos sintomas
respiratórios aumenta com a evolução do cancro.
Tornam-se, muitas vezes, nos sintomas mais
importantes e nos que mais significativamente
afectam a qualidade de vida. O seu controlo é, não
raras vezes, difícil. Revêem-se as causas, diagnóstico
e tratamento da dispneia, da tosse e das hemoptises no cancro avançado.
