Dyspnea can be defined as the subjective perception of respiratory distress. Etiology in patients with thoracic cancers varies greatly, but sudden obstruction of the airway, pleural effusion, pulmonary thromboembolism and bronchospasm stand out. The therapeutic approach in addition to focusing on the cause should be aimed at relieving the symptoms. Standing out among the pharmacological measures are opioids, benzodiazepines and corticosteroids.
