Description
Now, the treatment of NSCLC is diversiform, such as radiation and chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immune therapy, the treatment goal is to reduce symptoms, improve quality of life, prolong life. But as a result of the disease itself has the high risk of metastasis and recurrence. The treatment is often accompanied by a series of complications, if the patients don't get medical assistance in time, it will lead high risk to physical and mental health of patients. In China, the intermittent period of domestic treatment is mainly family recuperation, but due to the lack of medical knowledge or self-management and self-restraint ability of patients, they may forget to take medicine, stop medication without permission due to side effects and other behaviors that do not follow the doctor's advice, the poorly patients' compliance will lead to a significant reduction in the treatment effect. NSCLC are often accompanied by anxiety, fear, insomnia and other symptoms, causing a huge psychological burden on patients and their families, affecting the quality of life. Whole process follow-up in tumor therapy plays an important role , it is the crucial link between medical, nursing, and patients. Patients' whole process follow-up and management is an important part of cancer disease management.
It is helpful to relieve the patients and their families of the bad psychology, reduce the symptoms of patients, improve the patient's compliance behavior, relieve the psychological anxiety of patients, make it actively cooperate with the treatment, reduce complications, improve the quality of life of patients, so as to prolong the life cycle.
Our project is going to explore whether management and follow-up of locally advanced/metastatic patients using the patient process management platform can prolong patient survival and improve patient quality of life.
