title: [Comprehensive palliative therapy--ways of improving the quality of life for cancer patients].
abstract: The results of evaluation of different kinds of palliative treatment (the complex one included) of 430 cancer patients are presented. The practices of the health service as well as the tentative conclusions of our investigations have shown that better palliation is both necessary and promising following radical surgery or in cases of extensive tumor process. If taken in combination, such procedures as transcranial electroanesthesia, electroacupuncture, palliative chemo- and hormone therapy, laser and analgetics of a new generation may be instrumental in considerably improving the quality of life in cancer patients, psychotherapy being an indispensable component.
