Dr. Wang Bingping
End-stage lung cancer symptoms before death include weight loss, fatigue, excessive drowsiness, hoarseness, and loss of appetite. Some patients may also experience dyspnea, respiratory failure, or hemoptysis. At this stage, treatment focuses primarily on palliative care to alleviate the patient’s suffering. During caregiving, it is essential to maintain a positive mindset and avoid negative emotions, which could adversely affect the patient.
