The Research Process of Palliative Treatment of Patients with Malignant Digestive Tract Tumor

姑息治疗是是世界卫生组织(WHO)定义的癌症基本处理原则之一,消化道恶性肿瘤的姑息治疗与患者发病率、死亡率提高和治疗成本增加密切相关。根据患者指征将急诊或姑息性治疗分为两类。包括肿瘤相关并发症与其他在治疗过程中可能出现的症状。虽然存在非手术、内镜及介入治疗方式多种治疗方法,但手术治疗仍是应用最多且最有效的方法。患者治疗方案的选择需要考虑多种因素,包括患者总体预后、体力状态等。西医治疗对改善症状、维持并延长生命更有效。而中医治疗对改善患者症状,加速疾病好转,提高患者生活质量的作用也非常重要。

Palliative treatment is one of the basic treatment principles of cancer defined by WHO. Palliative treatment on diges- tive tract cancer has close relation to the incidence and mortality of patients and cost of treatment. According to the indications of the pa- tients, emergency or palliative treatment is divided into two categories. Considerations include tumor related complications and other symptoms that may occur during the course of the treatment. Although there are many kinds of treatment methods including non opera- tion, endoscopic and interventional treatment, operation treatment is still the most widely used and the most effective method. The treat- ment options need to consider a variety of factors, including the patient＇s overall prognosis, physical condition, etc. Western medicine treatment is more effective in improving symptoms, maintaining and prolonging life. While Chinese medicine treatment also play a very important role in improving the symptoms of patients, accelerating the improvement of the disease, and improving the quality of life of oatients.
