Lung cancer and respiratory commorbidity / 中国实用内科杂志

ABSTRACT

Lung cancer comorbidity is common in patients. This review focuses on the clinical situations and treatment of patients with both lung cancer and one of the following chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD), pulmonary embolism(PE) or interstitial lung disease(ILD). Generally, these patients have more limitations on selecting cancer-related therapies, and they have shorter survival time and higher mortality than patients who had lung cancers only.
