Review Article a Multidisciplinary Evaluation for Advanced Supportive Care of Breast Cancer Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cancer cases diagnosed each year are increasing, mainly because the population is ageing and, in part, due to early detection. This implies that there are more and more persons that receive medical anticancer therapies and that are interested in maintaining their quality of life. Many oncological treatments, including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, surgery, and radiotherapy, and combined therapy are associated with cutaneous toxicity and long-term side effects to different tissues and organs. This is particularly relevant when new therapies are used since these may cause new and unexpected side effects that may be short-lived but, in some cases, may become chronic or permanent. Patients often seek advice with their oncologists on what can be done and what cannot be done. N
