Palliativmedizin in der gastrointestinalen Onkologie

„Comprehensive Cancer Care“ als Konzept einer umfassenden Krebsbehandlung beinhaltet 3 Säulen: Die Prävention, z.B. durch Veränderung des Lebensstils, und der Versuch der Kuration stellen die erste und zweite Säule dar. Die dritte Säule ist die Palliation als Betreuungsangebot für Patienten mit unheilbaren und zum Tode führenden Krebserkrankungen. Dieser Beitrag stellt die Bedeutung der Palliativmedizin für die gastrointestinale Onkologie vor.

Beside prevention of cancer as first pillar and curative therapy as second pillar, comprehensive care also encompasses palliative care representing a third pillar providing service for incurable cancer patients burdened with physical symptoms and psychological, social and spiritual needs. This article describes the integration of palliative medicine into comprehensive cancer care for patients with gastrointestinal cancer.
