How are Gastrointestinal Symptoms Managed in Cancer Patients?
Managing GI symptoms in cancer patients involves a combination of medical and supportive care. Anti-nausea medications (antiemetics), dietary modifications, and hydration are commonly used to manage nausea and vomiting. For diarrhea, medications such as loperamide can be effective, while stool softeners and increased fluid intake can help alleviate constipation. Pain management may require a combination of medications and other supportive measures.
