abstract: 'Women''s cancer rates are increasing in low- and middle-income countries,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with presentations that are often far advanced requiring intense symptom
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
management, thus advancing the urgent need to address palliative care.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Most resource settings have some options available to assist women with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
advanced gynecologic cancer, and a combination of leveraging these and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
expanding on emerging models for palliative care could lessen suffering
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and improve care for women with gynecologic cancers globally. Providing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
palliative care for women with cancer is constrained by resources (human
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and physical), lack of equipment, lack of access, and policy absence or
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
barriers. There is important work to be done in advocating for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
appropriate infrastructure development and legislation to assure that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
these options are available to women and their families. Access to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
adequate opioid and other pain relief options for cancer-related pain is
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
a particular concern given that availability, cost, and legislative
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
prohibitions create barriers that cause suffering for patients and grief
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for their families who are unable to address their suffering. All of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
these require ongoing advocacy for continual advances to improve access
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and infrastructure for palliative care.'
