[Anorexia associated with bronchial cancer].
Anorexia is a frequent complaint in patients suffering from bronchial cancer. It is linked to multiple factors, organic, biological and psychological. The treatment of anorexia implies an involvement with all these factors. If it persists, it may be improved by corticosteroids or by derivatives of progesterone independently of the control of the tumour process.
