Problems in the Management of Patients with Advanced Cancer

Herta Spencer M.D.1 and Daniel Laszlo M.D.1

1 The Division of Neoplastic Diseases of Montefiore Hospital, New York, New York.

Patients with advanced cancer present a multitude of problems, some related to, and some independent of, the underlying disease. Although the methods that are available today are rather limited to cope with the complexity of this problem, their early and full use can achieve fair palliative results. Much will depend upon the attitude of the physician toward the patient who suffers from an incurable disease. A more positive attitude and more active participation and integration of the family physician and internist into a team will determine to a great degree the amount of success. The aim of this article is to emphasize today's possibilities with the hope that tomorrow will bring more effective weapons.
