Symptom management for patients with pancreatic cancer
Clin J Oncol Nurs.
1998 Oct.
Abstract
Patients with pancreatic cancer have multiple symptoms from both disease and treatment. Pain, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, weight loss, fatigue, pruritus, and dyspnea are the most common symptoms. Until better treatments are found, patients with pancreatic cancer need effective symptom management to improve their quality of life.
