Cancer patients often die with serious unrelieved symptoms causing a distressing death for them and needless added suffering for their families. Many physicians have not been trained to care for the dying patient. This chapter reviews the common symptoms and describes the methods to control them and support the patient and family through this difficult time. These symptoms are so characteristic of the dying process that all physicians should recognize them, be skilled in providing appropriate care, and prepare for problems that may arise.
癌症患者常常在严重的、未得到缓解的症状中离世，这给他们带来了痛苦的死亡，也给家人带来了不必要的额外痛苦。许多医生并未接受过照顾临终患者的培训。本章回顾了常见症状，并描述了控制这些症状的方法，以及在这段艰难时期支持患者及其家人的方法。这些症状是临终过程的典型特征，所有医生都应该认识到它们，熟练地提供适当的护理，并为可能出现的问题做好准备。
