Several types of supportive measures are available, including:
1. Pain Management: Involves medications such as opioids and non-opioid analgesics, as well as alternative therapies like acupuncture and physical therapy. 2. Nutritional Support: Ensures patients receive adequate nutrition, which may involve special diets, supplements, or feeding tubes. 3. Psychological Support: Includes counseling, therapy, and support groups to help patients cope with the emotional impact of cancer. 4. Palliative Care: Focuses on relieving symptoms and improving quality of life, rather than treating the cancer itself.
