[Care of the terminal cancer patient. General treatment and psychological management].
The treatment of neoplastic patients in a terminal stage causes the surgeon who takes them in charge several problems, many of which are of a psychological nature. Such problems can be summarized as concerning the psychological attitude of the patient, the relationship between the patient and his family and the relationship between the patient and the hospital. These problems, together with others more specifically linked to the nature of the neoplastic disease, are not often easy to be solved by the single physician. Therefore, we propose to set up "Multidisciplinary groups for the study of untreatable neoplastic diseases", in order to assist the surgeon in the treatment of the last stages of the disease.
