Abstract
The care of lung cancer patients involves a specialized team approach. Complications arising from the underlying illness or its treatment are common occurrences that must be anticipated and treated properly. Psychosocial issues commonly arise in patients and their families during the course of the illness. Caregivers skilled in helping a patient and family members come to terms with this frequently fatal disease are integral members of a multidisciplinary team of cancer specialists.
