Relieving the suffering associated with cancer
and its treatment in the physical, emotional, practical, and spiritual
domains is impossible without impeccable symptom control.
This review summarizes key features essential to the management of: anorexia/cachexia, bowel obstruction, diarrhea, fatigue, mucositis, and nausea/vomiting.
Taken together, these are some of the most vexing symptoms for cancer patients.
Well-managed symptoms enable the course of overall cancer care to be unimpeded.
