Combining two or more treatment methods increases the life span of cancer patients while reducing damage to vital organs or tissue from the overuse of a single treatment. Combination therapy also targets different cancer-inducing pathways, thus reducing the chances of developing resistance to treatment.
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Patient-centered care
  • Medical ethics

Background:

  • Emerging treatments for colorectal cancer (CRC) necessitate informed patient choices.
  • Physicians and WOC nurses must support patients in selecting care aligned with their needs.
  • A case highlights the importance of presenting all viable treatment options.

Observation:

  • A 70-year-old male with operable CRC was initially offered only the standard treatment: long-course neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, surgery, and adjuvant chemotherapy.
  • Seeking a second opinion, the patient opted for an alternative: short-course radiotherapy followed by surgery, with chemotherapy based on nodal status.
  • Post-surgery results (T2N0M0) allowed the patient to avoid chemotherapy, improving his quality of life.

Findings:

  • Shared decision-making empowers patients to actively participate in their healthcare choices.
  • Presenting all treatment options, including less common ones, is crucial for optimal patient outcomes.
  • Short-course radiotherapy can offer a less toxic alternative with improved quality of life.

Implications:

  • Healthcare providers must ensure transparency and offer all reasonable treatment options for colorectal cancer.
  • WOC nurses play a vital role in advocating for shared decision-making and supporting patient choices.
  • Adopting shared decision-making improves patient satisfaction and adherence to treatment plans.
