Cancer is a devastating disease that it takes intense victims not only on physical health of the patient, but emotionally and socially. This may lead to other health problems during and after treatment or even during recovery from cancer. Cancer is an aggressive disease and treatment as aggressive. Radiation and chemotherapy are physically debilitating and seriously affect the mental condition of the patient.
If the treatment is carried out without taking into account the emotional impact, or even physical consequences, the suffering of patients would unduly expand and their determination and motivation to follow the treatment will also be affected. Sometimes, the focus seems only to remove tumors, but now reports from leading medical institutions suggest that cancer therapy should be introduced with the new guidelines for cancer care.
New standards proposed plan to achieve three objectives: to identify if a patient is distressed and otherwise unhealthy, helping patients to treat these secondary issues, and periodically evaluate the patient standard care and be flexible enough to accommodate new changes. This may lead to the best way of administering a sympathetic treatment of cancer, not only with the specific intent to kill cancer cells only turn a blind eye to everything else.
It is recognized that existing methods of cancer treatment for some very severe side effects. And if the adverse effects of therapy itself will weaken the benefits of treatment, the patient finally ending the suffering, not only through illness, but also during treatment and during the recovery phase, even after treatment stops. Although some of the resources that already exist to help patients through painful and exhausting phase of treatment, cancer care providers can not provide sufficient attention to identifying the individual needs of patients and helping them use these resources.
Some of the common needs of patients include access to information about cancer and treatment for depression and other mental health conditions that are natural, but the side effects of going through such a devastating experience, such as cancer.
During treatment, the patient may also need help performing daily activities. They must also be provided with easy access to transportation, medicines and other items that they either can not afford or do not have access.
This is not only cancer but other serious debilitating disease also causes a huge strain on all aspects of human life. New standards of treatment of patients needed to address this particular area, to improve the quality of services provided to patients.
