Nodules in the lungs are normally discovered by accident. However, if you have lung cancer, chances are that you will also have lung nodules. Those who are exposed to asbestos on a regular basis, face a greater risk of developing lung cancer.
Palliative care is a multidisciplinary approach to specialised medical care for people with serious illnesses. It focuses on providing patients with relief from the symptoms, pain, physical stress, and mental stress of a serious illnessâwhatever the diagnosis.t is appropriate at any age and at any stage in a serious illness and can be provided along with curative treatment. Physicians sometimes use the term palliative care in a sense meaning palliative therapies without curative intent, when no cure can be expected (as often happens in late-stage cancers).
A clearer usage is palliative, noncurative therapy when that is what is meant, because palliative care can be used along with curative or aggressive therapies. Medications and treatments are said to have a palliative effect if they relieve symptoms without having a curative effect on the underlying disease or cause.
