Respiratory disease is the second most common cause of death worldwide. Patients with advanced non-malignant disease such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease have similar or even greater health care needs than those with advanced lung cancer.

This book provides practical guidance to professionals who care for patients with advanced respiratory disease.

Recognition of when a patient may be approaching the end of life can be particularly challenging in patients with advanced respiratory disease.
