Symptom management of advanced colorectal cancer.
Care of the patient with colorectal cancer incorporates treatment, management of symptoms from disease and treatment, and open communication with the patient from diagnosis to cure or death. Such comprehensive care requires a multidisciplinary team, and incorporation of the preferences of the patient.
