Este manual es una guía para los pacientes con cáncer avanzado que requieren apoyo para aliviar el sufrimiento. Consideramos que en esta etapa de la enfermedad el paciente se encuentra mejor en su hogar, rodeado de sus seres queridos y de sus recuerdos. Por esta razón, de manera sencilla le presentamos información sobre las principales molestias y preguntas que los pacientes y sus familiares han expresado a través de los años e incluimos algunos consejos para mejorar estos síntomas. Cuando la enfermedad llega a esta etapa la comunicación entre usted, sus familiares y los médicos es muy importante; por ello, mediante este manual queremos incrementar la eficiencia en los canales comunicativos, por ejemplo, la vía telefónica. El texto empieza describiendo qué es el cáncer avanzado, cómo puede saber su médico que se encuentra en esta etapa, cuáles son las opciones de tratamiento y qué son los cuidados paliativos. Posteriormente se habla acerca de los síntomas frecuentes y proporcionamos algunos consejos sencillos no médicos, así como información útil para el cuidado de los pacientes en su casa; asimismo, agregamos un apartado con consejos prácticos, tanto para el cuidador como para el paciente y sus familiares.
