The results of evaluation of different kinds of palliative treatment (the
complex one included) of 430 cancer patients are presented. The practices of
the health service as well as the tentative conclusions of our
investigations have shown that better palliation is both necessary and
promising following radical surgery or in cases of extensive tumor process.
If taken in combination, such procedures as transcranial electroanesthesia,
electroacupuncture, palliative chemo- and hormone therapy, laser and
analgetics of a new generation may be instrumental in considerably improving
the quality of life in cancer patients, psychotherapy being an indispensable
component.
