As with other cancersPatients in the terminal stage may present with a wide variety of presentations
What everyone is most concerned about is:Pain。It is true that the incidence of pain is higher, butNot every patient with advanced cancer will have a lot of pain, which may occur in about half of the overall rate. We never skimp on any painkillers for cancer pain, our principles are:Use it as needed, from weak to strong, there are many, and even a combination of multiple strong analgesics, including morphine, demerol, fentanyl, etc. And addiction is no longer important, rather than living painfully, it is better to leave with dignity。Euthanasia is also based on this consideration.
Other common presentations include:
Circulatory collapse(Blood pressure drops until it is undetectable, so it is not too painful).
Respiratory failure(Breathlessness can be painful, but generally doesn't last long.)
Liver failure(Jaundice, weakness, ascites, catheter drainage if necessary, not too painful).
Kidney failure(Anuria, edema, ascites, etc., can be maintained by dialysis).
Heavy bleeding(will go into shock quickly, go fast).
Obstruction of the digestive tract and inability to eat(I have no appetite and vomit when I eat.)onlycan be maintained by nutritional injections) and so on.
All in all, the cancer is in the advanced stagePerformance varies widely, there may be multiple manifestations at the same time, and the doctor mainly depends on the specific situationVarious symptomatic support** is provided in the hope of alleviating the patient's suffering and prolonging the patient's survival
Each patient has its own characteristics, and consult a specialist for specific indications, indications, and modalities.
