Abstract

Lung cancer is a bad prognostic illness with a limited survival and many side effects related to treatment used. Supportive care in cancer attends to enhance patient care among cancer and treatments suffering. Opioids are one of the most important treatments in the management of dyspnoea and pain. Every new drug in supportive care is tested to diminish side effects of treatment like erythropoietin against anemia or aprepitant against emesis. Many trials are developed to enhance this supportive care especially in lung cancer management.
