Management of systemic symptoms in cancer involves addressing both the underlying cancer and the symptoms themselves. Treatment strategies may include:
Chemotherapy and Radiation: These treatments target cancer cells throughout the body, potentially alleviating systemic symptoms. Supportive Care: This includes interventions such as nutritional support, pain management, and psychological support to improve quality of life. Medications: Drugs like antipyretics for fever, analgesics for pain, and erythropoietin for anemia can help manage specific symptoms.
