Indian Cancer Congress Update - Friday

Today is the second day of the Indian Cancer Congress.  Met many gracious physicians and nurses yesterday.  I look forward to learning even more.  One of the sessions where I participated as a panelist was a Psycho Oncology session on "How to Give Bad News."  The discussion continued to help me to understand the importance and challenges of family members in relationship to cancer.  The senior male in the family is often the person who makes decisions.  That person may instruct the physician not to tell the patient about the cancer diagnosis.  One of the physicians said that he is very honest about the type and extent of the surgery with the patient but may not mention "cancer" as the reason for the surgery.

In another session, a physician discussed genetics and cancer.  She indicated that some families see cancer as a curse to their blood line.  My friend, Savitri, is doing research on the psychosocial aspects of cancer in the Asian population. Interesting information.

 I plan to incorporate information about what I learned into the legal and ethical issues course.

  2. I can appreciate that news is expecting the basic part, to tell the truth, and this https://neurology.residencypersonalstatements.net/10-best-internal-medicine-residency-programs/ site spread it to the overall public. Nevertheless, you can similarly say that once in a while they spread the wrong news to the all-inclusive community which causes flimsiness.
