Symptomatic treatment reduces and eliminates the symptoms of cancer.
- It must be complex.
- Pain relief has a dominant importance .
As the disease progresses, symptomatic treatment passes smoothly into terminal care, in which also play a role nursing care and mental health care (in addition to symptomatic therapy).
- Ordinary inpatient departments are usually unable to provide this, which is why special asylum facilities are being set up, where a dignified dying is ensured - a hospice .
- Hospices are specialized programs that aim to provide care to the patient at a time when neither curative nor palliative therapy is possible.
- It allows you to live with dignity, without unnecessary suffering.
- Hospices are either in separate buildings or operate in the form of home comprehensive hospice care (the patient is at home, but is cared for by a healthcare professional).
