| Popis: | The number of cancer patients and their families desiring home-based care has been increasing. A support system for home-based care is urgently needed for a patient who continues to receive cancer chemotherapy. We introduce a patient for whom the decision to switch from inpatient treatment to home-based care was delayed because of changes in various symptoms associated with chemotherapy. We also examined the factors that resulted in a 7-month hospitalization until the symptoms had abated with third-line chemotherapy, chemotherapy regimens and pain control during the hospital stay, and an optimal timing for proceeding to home care. |
