Review on palliative care of patients with high-grade glioma / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

High-grade gliomas (HGG) are a group of malignant tumours with high recurrence rate, rapid progression, poor prognosis and short median survival. Patients suffer with severe symptoms after operation, which seriously affect the quality of life of patients. Palliative care is an important nursing measure to improve the quality of life of patients with malignant tumors. This paper reviews the current situation and research progress of palliative care in patients with advanced glioma at home and abroad, and provides the evidence and guidance for medical staff to carry out palliative care of patients with high grade glioma.
