Pancreatic cancer: Best supportive care.
La Presse Médicale 2019 March
Palliative and supportive care holds a major place in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) management. It aims to prevent and reduce symptoms and hospital admissions, while ensuring optimal health-related quality of life (HRQoL), which has been reported to be correlated with overall survival in PDAC. Best supportive care includes non-specific treatment of pain, anxiety and depression, chemotherapy-related toxicities, as well as thromboembolic disease treatment and prevention in high-risk patients. Moreover, nutrition and physical activity interventions are receiving increasing attention as they are crucial to optimize treatment tolerance and efficacy. Of note, they require adaptation to the specificities of PDAC setting and stage of the disease. In this review, we propose an overview of palliative and supportive care interventions in PDAC, with a highlight on nutritional and physical activity management.
