To examine the current research related to symptom clusters in specific cancer diagnoses.
Research studies, review articles.
Factors that can impact symptoms and their relationship include the stage of disease, treatment used, modification of treatment for the individual patient, patient co-morbidities as well as psychological, sociological, and cultural factors. Understanding is needed regarding which of these factors individually or in combination contribute to symptoms clustering together. The mechanism underlying symptom perception and interpretation need further exploration. Research focus should be on one type of cancer.
Symptom cluster research offers little at this point to be helpful in patient diagnosis, assessment, monitoring, or management of disease.
研究目前与特定癌症诊断中症状群相关的研究。
研究性论文、综述文章。
可能影响症状及其关系的因素包括疾病分期、所采用的治疗方法、针对个体患者的治疗调整、患者的合并症以及心理、社会和文化因素。需要了解这些因素中哪些单独或共同导致症状聚集在一起。症状感知和解释的潜在机制需要进一步探索。研究重点应放在一种癌症类型上。
目前症状群研究对患者疾病的诊断、评估、监测或管理帮助不大。
