Abstract
One of the priorites of personalized medicine regards the role of early integraton of palliatve care with cancerdirected treatments, called simultaneous care. This artcle, writen by the Italian Associaton of Medical Oncology (AIOM) Simultaneous and Contnuous Care Task Force, represents the positon of Italian medical oncologists about simultaneous care, and is the result of a 2-step project: a Web-based survey among medical oncologists and a consensus conference. We present the opinion of more than 600 oncologists who helped formulate these recommendatons. This document covers 4 main aspects of simultaneous care: 1) ethical, cultural, and relatonal aspects of cancer and implicatons for patent communicaton; 2) training of medical oncologists in palliatve medicine; 3) research on the integraton between cancer treatments and palliatve care; and 4) organizatonal and management models for the realizaton of simultaneous care. The resultng recommendatons highlight the role of skills and competence in palliatve care along with implementaton of adequate organizatonal models to accomplish simultaneous care, which is considered a high priority of AIOM in order to grant the best quality of life for cancer patents and their families.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
