International collaboration and the importance of eubiosia

Stephan Tanneberger. Oncologist. 2015 Jan.

Abstract

The call of the oncologist is to improve quality of life, and to do so, oncologists can look beyond technology and expensive medications; these may not be necessary for patients to achieve eubiosia: no more pain and dignity of life until the last moment of life. Simple gestures of companionship, family, and care can make a difference.
