Life care and quality life control would be considered as important as diagnostic and therapeutic steps. Surgical phase has a particular aspect in oncology, as the patient himself requires a curative intent from surgery (it's generally well known that alternative therapies for solid tumors, such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy, are thought to be extreme remedies during advanced study); in fact surgeons first, focused their attention upon life quality either of hospitalized or discharged patients. The aim of this article is to illustrate themes of clinical practice such as the complex emotional reaction of the patient and the pharmacological support for pain control.
