AbstractPalliative care should be part of respiratory medicine for two reasons: first, many respiratory diseases--besides thoracic tumours--need palliative care in the late stages of the disease. Second, dyspnoea is a common symptom in advanced, primary extrapulmonary diseases and the knowledge of respiratory specialists can be beneficial in the treatment of this symptom. In this paper we describe frequent symptoms of advanced pulmonary diseases and their treatment. Moreover, we focus on the structure of palliative care in Germany.
