Lung cancer is not very common in today's society, but in order to take good care of patients with lung cancer, we need to know the patient's clinical manifestations and then give the patient certain care. For this reason, experts have summarized the clinical manifestations of lung cancer patients and then given the principles of disease treatment for patients. The main contents are summarized as follows.

1. Nursing of patients with hemoptysis: Once signs of hemoptysis are found, be prepared for rescue immediately; when there is a large amount of hemoptysis, use a suction device to suck out the blood or place the patient in a head-down, foot-up position to draw out the blood in the mouth and respiratory tract to prevent suffocation; give hemostatic drugs and sedatives as prescribed by the doctor; strengthen psychological support to reduce the patient's tension and fear.

2. Oral care: Educate patients on oral hygiene; promptly treat chronic oral infections and ulcers; and perform oral care promptly after hemoptysis or postural drainage.
