To discuss the current evidence for the management of symptoms in clusters and future directions in symptom cluster management research.
Research and review articles.
Currently no research has been reported on management of formally identified symptom clusters in oncology. Several researchers have described psychoeducational and exercise interventions that have decreased multiple concurrent symptoms. Understanding common biological mechanisms that underlie symptom clusters, such as inflammatory pathways, may suggest more effective treatments for symptom clusters.
Clinicians and researchers need to collaborate to better understand symptom clusters and develop effective interventions.
探讨目前关于症状群管理的证据以及症状群管理研究的未来方向。
研究和综述文章。
目前尚无关于肿瘤学中正式确定的症状群管理的研究报道。一些研究人员描述了心理教育和运动干预措施，这些措施减少了多种并发症状。了解症状群背后的常见生物学机制，如炎症途径，可能会为症状群提出更有效的治疗方法。
临床医生和研究人员需要合作，以更好地理解症状群并制定有效的干预措施。
