Title: AB019. S3B-5. Living well with cancer—a personalized and need-based cancer care
Abstract: Abstract: Cancer is one of the severe health problems globally. Fortunately, the advancements of cancer treatments have made them longer survival time. However, cancer and its related treatments might still cause impacts and distress on patients. In order to decrease cancer patients’ distress and increase their quality of life, a set of cares to support patients living well with cancer is important. In this presentation, the impacts of cancer on patients’ quality of life and the Wilson and Cleary’s Health Related Quality of Life model (HRQOL) will be addressed. Based on the model, patients’ physical, psychological and functional distress will be addressed. A personalized patient centered and need based care program will be discussed. The overall goal is to support cancer patients and their caregivers to develop better quality of life and live well with cancer.
