Causes

• Tumour

Interventions

• Steroids
• Radiotherapy
• Palliative chemotherapy
• Stent

Notes

• Parenchymal metastatic lung disease is rarely symptomatic and does not usually need intervention.
• Management should be in close collaboration with paediatric oncology and radiotherapy colleagues.
• Long-term steroid therapy should usually be avoided.
• Surgical insertion of a stent is invasive and often not appropriate.
