Risk Factors and Impact on Outcomes of Lung Cancer Patients Concurrent with Deep Vein Thrombosis.

Purpose: Many investigations on prognostic factors in lung cancer have been conducted; however, little is known regarding the outcomes of lung cancer cases complicated by deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This study aimed to determine the risk factors and impact on outcomes of lung cancer patients concurrent with DVT.

Methods: Lung cancer patients who underwent lower-extremity venous ultrasound were enrolled in this study.

Clinical application of comfort nursing in elderly patients with advanced lung cancer.

Objective: To explore the clinical effect of comfort nursing in elderly patients with advanced lung cancer (ALC).

Methods: Eighty-six elderly patients with ALC treated in our hospital were selected as clinical subjects for this prospective study. The patients were randomly divided into the control group (n=43, received routine nursing) and the observation group (n=43, received additional comfort nursing based on routine nursing) according to a digital table method.
