Prevalence Of Cancer

The problem of cancer-related fatigue, which affects 70% to 100% of cancer patients, has been exacerbated by the increased use of fatigue-inducing multimodal treatments and dose-dense, dose-intense protocols. In patients with metastatic disease, the prevalence of cancer-related fatigue exceeds 75%, and cancer survivors report that fatigue is a disruptive symptom months or even years after treatment ends. To address the significant problem of cancer-related fatigue, the NCCN convened a panel of experts in the field of fatigue. The Cancer-Related Fatigue Clinical Practice Guidelines synthesize the available research and clinical experience in this field and provide recommendations for patient care.

All patients experience some level of distress at various stages of the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Physicians' ability to recognize patients' distress has become more challenging as cancer care has shifted to the ambulatory setting, where visits are often short and rushed. Therefore, using clinical practice guidelines for managing psychosocial distress in cancer patients is critical. These guidelines recommend that each new patient be rapidly assessed in the office or clinic waiting room for evidence of distress.

Pain is one of the most common symptoms associated with cancer and one of the symptoms patients fear most; unrelieved pain denies them comfort and greatly affects their activities, motivation, interactions with family and friends, and overall quality of life. The importance of relieving pain and availability of effective therapies make it imperative that clinicians caring for cancer patients to be adept at assessing and treating cancer pain. The National Comprehensive Cancer Network Adult Cancer Pain Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology acknowledge the range of complex decisions faced in caring for these patients. As a result, they provide dosing guidelines for NSAIDs, opioids, and adjuvant analgesics. They also provide specific suggestions for escalating opioid dosage, managing opioid toxicity, and when and how to proceed to other techniques to manage cancer pain.

In 2005, an estimated 40,340 new cases of rectal cancer will occur in the U.S., and experts estimate that during the same year, 56,290 people will die of rectal and colon cancer. As with colon cancer, however, mortality from rectal cancer has also decreased over the past 30 years. The NCCN Rectal Cancer Panel believes a multidisciplinary approach is necessary for effectively managing rectal cancer, an approach detailed here.
