A systematic review and meta-analysis of studies comparing burden from lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
CONCLUSION: Efforts should be made to ensure that access to Specialist Palliative Care is commensurate with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease's substantial and long-lasting burden. Future research should clarify whether managing burden in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and lung cancer requires different approaches.
