[Supportive cares on thoracic oncology].
Palliative cares become an important element of the management of patients with lung cancer. The objective of this review is to review the literature data's of the impact of palliative cares in oncology, more particularly in thoracic oncology. The analysis concerns the impact of an early access to the palliative cares and the characteristics of these cares in thoracic oncology. The data of the literature are in favour of an early access and structured intervention. Nevertheless, numerous research questions remain, in particular the best moment to implant these palliative cares (at the diagnosis, at the beginning of the chemotherapy…), the assessment of each components of these programs and the economic impact of these initiatives.
