Abstract

The majority of patients with lung cancer will experience some symptoms (dyspnea, cough, and/or hemoptysis) during the course of their disease. These symptoms not only can greatly affect the quality of life of these patients, but may also influence the therapeutic modalities that their physician may want to employ to deliver further therapy.
