Systemic corticosteroids for the management of cancer-related breathlessness (dyspnoea) in adults.

CONCLUSIONS: There are few studies assessing the effects of systemic corticosteroids on cancer-related dyspnoea in adults with cancer. We judged the evidence to be of very low quality that neither supported nor refuted corticosteroid use in this population. Further high-quality studies are needed to determine if corticosteroids are efficacious in this setting. PMID: 30784058 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
