Increasing Need in Gynecological Cancer Patients: Palliative Care

Öz

Most patients with advanced gynecological cancer experience cancer recurrence or die despite intensive treatments. It is aimed to relieve symptoms, improve quality of life, support family and caregivers, maintain care until the last moment, and prolong overall survival in terminal gynecological cancer patients. Multiple national and international organizations support integrating palliative care into a comprehensive cancer treatment. Although palliative care is an integral part of cancer treatment, its importance is not well understood. In this review, it is aimed to provide information about the aims, benefits and importance of palliative care and to raise awareness of healthcare professionals.

Jinekolojik Kanser Hastalarında Giderek Artan Gereksinim: Palyatif Bakım

Öz

İlerlemiş jinekolojik kanser hastalarının çoğu yoğun tedavilere rağmen nüks yaşamakta ya da yaşamını kaybedebilmektedir. Terminal dönemdeki jinekolojik kanser hastalarında semptomları gidermek, yaşam kalitesini artırmak, aile ve bakım vericileri desteklemek son ana kadar bakımın sürdürülmesi ve genel sağkalımı uzatmak hedeflenmektedir. Ulusal ve uluslararası birçok kuruluş kapsamlı bir kanser tedavisine mutlaka palyatif bakımın entegre edilmesini savunmaktadır. Palyatif bakım kanser tedavisinin ayrılmaz bir parçası olmasına karşın önemi yeterince anlaşılmamıştır. Bu derlemede palyatif bakımın amaçları, yararları ve önemine ilişkin bilgiler sunmak ve sağlık çalışanlarına farkındalık kazandırmak amaçlanmıştır.
