Abstract
The prevention and treatment of pneumoconiosis is highly concerned. So far, no effective medicine or measure to cure silicotic fibrosis backed by solid evidences is available both domestically and abroad. This situation calls for a rational understanding of the medical treatment strategy for a disease without curative endpoint. The consensus emphasized on the goals and principles of pneumoconiosis treatment. Pneumoconiosis patients could basically maintain an acceptable quality of life and capabilities in social activities through comprehensive health management, active prevention and control of complications and comorbidities, and positive rehabilitation.
