title: [Concept for a forward-looking communication in the palliative treatment of patients with pneumological-oncological diseases prospective].
abstract: The treatment and medical care of patients with lung cancer is mostly characterised and complicated by a reduced life expectancy. The lack of time can easily be the cause for various problems concerning the handling of these patients, their relatives and medical staff. A concept for opening future perspectives through standardised steps of communication could lead to a more cautious and humane relationship between physician and patient. In the case of successful realisation of this strategy, a significant enhancement of quality of life for the patient and relatives and practicability of work for the physician can be expected.
