"When the cancer was declared to be the moment, the patient is faced with the fear of death and pain" at National Taiwan University Hospital Blood Cancer Physicians said Huang Yi, early cancer therapy also does not support such progress now, when many patients Afraid can not stand the side effects or because there is no active treatment, resulting in therapeutic effects than expected, thereby affecting the quality of life after and survival, for a long time off, for patients and their families who is a big burden.
Huang Yi cited a targeted survey of cancer patients found that out of hair, limbs and organs, such as incomplete, "the face of change," most patients are not acceptable treatment of side effects, not only affect the body function more enormous psychological impact; because treatment of cancer caused by hair not just limited to hair, including eyebrows and other body parts will be out all the hair, and blood cancer, oral cancer, such as cancer, are more likely to face amputation, jaw resection, such as physical changes, even if found from the gate of hell Back to life, life can take care of themselves, whether or not to return to work are most worried about things patients.
In addition, such as nausea and vomiting, pain, loss of appetite and so on, but also is a common cancer treatment side effects, and strong chemical drugs, this may result in patients with decreased immunity, poor bone marrow function, pain and so on. However, when more and more progress in supportive therapy, cancer patients can be a little less painful cancer treatment.
"Supporting patients to receive formal methods of cancer treatment," explained Huang Yi "support therapy" meaning, foreign study found that the effect of cancer treatment and survival rates significantly in recent years to enhance and support play a key role in therapy, per cent contribution Twenty. Since antibiotics, analgesic drugs, growth hormone has been used in support of proper therapy, significantly reduce the side effects of cancer treatment, thereby significantly improve patient treatment wishes.
Huang Yi said that the cancer patient's pain, if not first lifted, then again they are faced with cancer treatment side effects, such as pain then add on the pain; if the use of supportive therapy to alleviate patients the side effects of cancer treatment, the absolute will improve the follow-up treatment will, however, one to extend the life, the patient will have to wait for a better drug or treatment opportunities.
In addition to alleviating physical pain, psychological support therapy have meaning, "patients will be, painting, music or terminal cancer are belong to the hospice ward level to support soul therapy," Huang Yi, for example, patients will experience sharing and support of cancer patients are know illness, an important source of support, and painting and music is a kind of spiritual treatment abroad for years. Patient prognosis and quality of life and productivity, are also included in "effect of cancer treatment," one of the assessment, Huang Yi, said that as long as there is help for patients, "Any good, positive support for therapy, can be encouraged."
