The cancer patient's journey not only includes a threat to one's life, but the need to face many medical and emotional challenges. The free Cancer Supportive Care Program (CSCP) within the Center for Integrative Medicine Clinic at Stanford University Hospital and Clinics has been identified as a successful model for helping patients to deal with these challenges. Its programs include informational lectures, support groups, chair massages, exercise, alternative modality classes, a Life Tapes Project, an informational website, and a bimonthly newsletter available free to anybody touched by cancer. Now in its third year, this program benefits from a blending of leadership resources, availability of space, institutional agreement on patient need and funds from private and corporate donations. By presenting the basic premises of the Cancer Supportive Care program and outlining specifics about the program, institutions in various national and international demographic regions may implement similar programs according to their resources and the needs of patients. It is our hope that the CSCP can become a model for the development of similar programs in various parts of the United States and abroad.
癌症患者的就医历程不仅包括对生命的威胁，还需要面对诸多医学和情感方面的挑战。斯坦福大学医院及诊所综合医学中心内的免费癌症支持护理项目（CSCP）已被视为帮助患者应对这些挑战的成功典范。其项目包括信息讲座、支持小组、椅子按摩、锻炼、替代疗法课程、生命录像项目、信息网站以及一份每两个月发行一次的时事通讯，免费提供给任何受癌症影响的人。该项目如今已进入第三年，受益于领导力资源的整合、空间的可用性、机构对患者需求的共识以及来自私人和企业捐赠的资金。通过介绍癌症支持护理项目的基本前提并概述该项目的具体细节，不同国家和国际人口区域的机构可以根据自身资源和患者需求实施类似项目。我们希望CSCP能够成为美国及国外各地类似项目发展的典范。
