Symptom management issues in oncology nursing.
Symptoms experienced by patients with cancer can occur as a direct effect of the disease process and be related to side effects of treatment. Many patients with cancer also are older in age and have comorbidities, such as diabetes and heart disease. Comorbid conditions also produce disease and treatment-related symptoms that may have an independent or compounding effect on cancer-related symptoms.
