    Abstract:
    In patients with lung cancer, the appearance of pleurisy, superior vena cava syndrome, or tracheobronchial obstruction are complications that require specialized care, often in an emergency context. Our objective is to present the different therapeutic options available in each of these three complications and to suggest recommendations on the care to provide in everyday clinical practice.
