A systematic review identified very few studies that could provide sufficient information for patients to decide whether they want to discontinue treatment. However, discontinuing therapy may be a reasonable option if there are no positive outcomes within the four- to twelve week trial. It is important to remember that some adverse events can reduce the overall goals of palliative medicine. One study showed that 11 patients were suffering from anxiety. Other adverse effects included nausea and dizziness.
Existential uncertainty
While existential uncertainty can be defined in many different ways, this article will focus on the implications of such a concept for patients. Existential uncertainties arise in the context specific to the patient's experiences and circumstances. Kate, for example, might ask her doctor about diet changes she can make to help fight the disease. She will share her experiences with her doctor during the conversation. After hearing her doctor's answer, Kate becomes more concerned about what to eat in her new condition.
Variation of palliative care
Recent data indicate that there is a lot of variation in how palliative and hospice care is provided for cancer patients. The percentage of patients who receive palliative medicine for metastatic lung carcinoma varied widely, from 16.4% to 6.4% in Washington. From the moment of diagnosis, to the first palliative visit, was significantly different in each state. Utah was the state with the most palliative visits.
Psychological aspects of palliative care
A growing number of studies has demonstrated the vital role that psychologists have in providing palliative and hospice care. Psychologists are well-equipped to provide palliative care for cancer patients, by helping to reduce the psychosocial burden. With this knowledge, psychologists can provide evidence-based counseling and psychological treatments. This frees up time for busy outpatient clinics. This article describes how psychologists are integrated into the multidisciplinary team that includes palliative care professionals.
Cost of palliative care
The Patient and Carer Cancer Cost Survey was used to estimate the total cost of all cancer treatment. Patients and carers were asked if they had ever been affected by cancer. Repeat visits were made to ensure that the cost of treatment was accurate and quick. Patients who missed their follow-up appointments were questioned about all costs that they had incurred since the last visit. Recipients of palliative care were classified as "palliative", and their experience of care was verified by manual review of clinical records and hospital data management reports.
Palliative and hospice care are effective
Palliative care, as a clinical practice, is still controversial. Palliative care blends conventional cancer treatment with alternative methods to improve quality of living and reduce caregiver burden. Research shows that palliative care can improve the quality of life for patients and extend their survival rates in advanced cancer. Palliative medicine can be used to reduce the toxicity and increase quality of life. The authors do not have any financial relationships or conflicts of interest with any entity.
