title: [Acute complications in lung cancer].
abstract: Lung cancer may be responsible for various complications due to locoregional invasion or distant metastases or paraneoplastic syndromes. These complications may reveal the lung cancer and may disappear with efficient anticancerous therapy. Sometimes the severity of the complication necessitates a symptomatic treatment before any anticancer therapy may be administered.
