Supportive care in neurooncology
Abstract
The quality of life of patients treated for brain tumor is, in all cases, deeply altered by the tumor and the treatments. Optimizing the symptomatic management is a key objective for all care givers. We present in this paper a very pragmatic focus concerning the management of intracranial hypertension (and/or neurological deficits), venous thromboembolism, confusion, epilepsy and symptoms more directly associated with the end of life.
