Bleeding occurs with some regularity at the end of life. Patients often endure fatigue, weakness, pain, dyspnea and anxiety. These symptoms are magnified in visually apparent bleeds. Management can be particularly challenging as we attempt to balance therapies with goals of care. We read with interest the recent meta-analysis by Sun et al.1 that included 50466 patients with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). The author found that fever and cough were the most common symptoms, and several subjects had muscle soreness or fatigue. In addition, they reported that
OBJECTIVE
To improve our understanding and facilitate early diagnosis of pulmonary artery sarcoma (PAS).
METHODS
The clinical and radiological features of 9 histopathologically confirmed patients with PAS were retrospectively analyzed.
RESULTS
Our PAS cohort consisted of 5 males and 4 females, with
OBJECTIVE
Alveolar vasculitis is an unusual event in the course of cryoglobulinemia (CG). The inflammatory process involving the alveolar capillary walls may result in severe alveolar hemorrhage and consequently lead to a grave outcome. The objective of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of
BACKGROUND
The underpinning conceptual model for the Lung Cancer Symptom Scale (LCSS), an instrument used to assess health-related quality of life in patients with lung cancer, has been described elsewhere. The patient-rated scale of the LCSS was modified slightly for patients with mesothelioma
Wegener's granulomatosis is a type of vasculitis characterized by necrotizing granulomatosis respiratory tract lesions and necrotising glomerulonephritis. Nasal, lung and renal biopsies and positive antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (c-ANCA) analysis is helpful in diagnosis. Early diagnosis and
OBJECTIVE
To assess the feasibility and validity of using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Core Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ-C30) and Lung Cancer Module (QLQ-LC13) to describe health-related quality of life (HRQL) in patients with pleural mesothelioma
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality in men and women. Lung cancer accounts for approximately 30% of all cancer deaths in the United States. In addition, it is the most often diagnosed cancer in men, and the second most often diagnosed cancer in women. Five-year survival rates in
BACKGROUND
Patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) require care that emphasizes symptom palliation in addition to extending survival. The low response rates and minimal survival gains observed in second-line studies underscore the need to assess treatment efficacy with symptomatic
Germ cell tumors (GCTs) in children are rare neoplasms with diverse pathological findings according to the site and age of presentation. The most common symptoms in children with mediastinal GCTs, which are nonspecific, are dyspnea, chest pain, cough, hemoptysis, vena cava occlusion syndrome, and
OBJECTIVE
this prospective study aimed to assess the quality of life related to health (QLRH) of patients with lung cancer after chemotherapy treatment.
METHODS
The QLRH was assessed using the questionnaires Quality-of-Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (QLQ-C30) and Lung Cancer Module (LC13), version
We reported a rare case of tuberculous aneurysm of the aorta managed successfully with urgent surgical therapy. A 35-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital complaining of fatigue and hemoptysis. Laboratory tests showed severe anemia, slight liver dysfunction, elevated level of C-reactive
OBJECTIVE
Quality of life (QoL) is an important factor in patient care. This analysis is focused on QoL before and after radio(chemo)therapy in patients with thoracic carcinomas, as well as on its influence on clinical follow-up and survival, and the correlation with treatment-related
