Abstract
Treatment of non-small cell lung cancer is often associated with the need to treat some of the complicating factors associated with the disease. This article outlines the issues and solutions to the most commonly seen patient problems (except general cancer problems such as pain or malnutrition).
Specifically, it deals with haemoptysis, upper vena cava syndrome, tumor airway obstruction, malignant effusions, respiratory insufficiency, thromboembolic diseases, hyponatraemia, hypercalcemia, bone and brain metastases. Its aim is to introduce the practical possibilities of solving these complications.
