Personalized medical accompaniment during chemotherapy

My medical approach promotes that patients with cancer:

$

They tolerate better chemotherapy

$

Live it with less side effects

$

Have them less interruptions in cycles and doses

This makes it easier for the oncological treatment to be carried out with the maximum continuity and stability possible.

A personalized clinical accompaniment

For patients undergoing oncological treatment

Patients who suffer from or may suffer from fatigue, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, loss of appetite, anemia, physical deterioration, or general discomfort associated with chemotherapy.

Chemotherapy becomes difficult to sustain

Many people not only live with cancer; they also live with the physical impact of chemotherapy: extreme fatigue, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, sores in the mouth, loss of appetite, altered taste, weakness, or a feeling of being unable to lead a minimally normal life.

Sometimes the patient stops eating As before, he loses energy, spends more time in bed, and needs help with activities he used to do without difficulty.

This affects not only the body: it also affects the mood, autonomy, and the entire family dynamic.

The family also lives with cancer

When a person in treatment deteriorates, the family’s life also changes.

Constant concern

The constant concern arises: if he eats little, if he is getting weaker every day, if he will be able to endure the next cycle, if he will have to return to the emergency room, if the treatment can continue.

Anxiety, sadness, fear, frustration

Family members often live with anguish, sadness, fear, frustration, and a sense of powerlessness. They want to help, but they don't always know how.

A profound impact on those who accompany them

Improving the patient's tolerance to treatment can have a profound impact on the peace of mind of those who accompany them.

Being able to tolerate chemotherapy better is not a minor detail

Although chemotherapy remains a fundamental tool in many oncological treatments, its toxicity can significantly affect the body. When side effects are severe, some patients may need delays between cycles, dose reductions, or even interruptions. of the treatment, always under the discretion of the oncology team.

Relative Dose Intensity, RDI

In oncology, there is an important concept called relative dose intensity or RDI, which refers to the relationship between the planned dose and the dose that the patient actually receives during treatment. Several studies have observed that maintaining a higher dose intensity may be relevant for clinical outcomes in certain types of cancer and chemotherapy regimens.

Clinical stability

Supporting the patient so that they can undergo chemotherapy in better condition does not only mean feeling better during the process. It can also help them reach each cycle with greater clinical stability and ensure that the treatment recommended by oncology can be developed with the greatest continuity possible, always respecting the decisions of the responsible oncology team.

Patient experience

When Mario started chemotherapy, he had a very clear idea of what he had experienced with this disease. In this video, he tells us how his experience is going and how he feels during the process.

Mario

Colon cancer

Mario was diagnosed with colon cancer and is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatment. Fearing fatigue, dizziness and other adverse effects that he had experienced first hand, he began complementary medical support with Dr. Gregorio León. After two months, Mario tells us that he is full of energy and maintains a completely active life: he performs his usual tasks, goes for walks, and continues going to the gym. He especially appreciates being able to cope with the chemotherapy process while feeling well and maintaining his daily activities.

Comprehensive care in the hands of a single professional

The problem usually isn't just one symptom.

In addition, The toxicity associated with chemotherapy can manifest itself in various systems. of the organism: digestive, hematological, neurological, immunological, metabolic and emotional. Therefore, in some patients, treating only the cancer is not enough. It may be necessary a broader clinical assessment that values how the body is responding as a whole and what supports could help you to get through the process with greater stability.

DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, mucositis, loss of appetite, altered taste.

IMMUNE SYSTEM

Immunosuppression, increased susceptibility to infections, altered inflammatory response.

HEMATOLOGICAL SYSTEM

Anemia, low platelets, neutropenia, reduced defenses that compromise tolerance to the cycle.

METABOLIC SYSTEM

Nutritional impairment, loss of muscle mass, metabolic disturbances during treatment.

NEUROSYSTEM

Peripheral neuropathies, sensory disturbances, neurological fatigue associated with certain drugs.

EMOTIONAL DIMENSION

Anxiety, fear of the next cycle, deterioration of the mood and personal autonomy.

A personalized medical approach to accompany chemotherapy

Individual patient evaluation

The patient's medical history, the type of oncological treatment, current symptoms, functional status, tolerance to previous cycles, and the patient's specific needs are analyzed.

Personalized physiological support

Interventions aimed at promoting the organism's self-regulation, modulating altered physiological pathways, and improving overall tolerance are valued, always from an individualized medical perspective.

Dynamic adaptation during the process

The accompaniment is not static. It is adjusted according to the clinical evolution, the symptoms, the patient's response and the needs that arise during the cycles.

Prudent coordination with oncological treatment

This approach does not replace, modify or interrupt the chemotherapy indicated by oncology. Its purpose is to accompany the patient so that they can overcome it in better conditions.

Not all patients experience chemotherapy in the same way.

It is not a standard protocol. It is an intervention tailored to each patient.

One patient may experience intense nausea. Another may experience diarrhea. Another may experience incapacitating fatigue. Another may experience mucositis. Another may experience analytical abnormalities or functional impairment. Therefore, the accompaniment must adapt to the real situation of each person.

The differential value of Dr. Gregorio León lies in combining clinical experience, scientific insight, close monitoring, and the ability to adjust the approach based on the patient's evolution.

The goal: that the treatment does not take away his daily life

Chemotherapy is necessary, but it should not be lived in isolation or with the feeling that the body is fading away cycle after cycle.

This support aims to help the patient better sustain the process, reach each cycle in the best possible condition, and preserve, as much as possible, their energy, autonomy, and quality of life.

It can help the patient to:

N

It tolerates chemotherapy and its side effects better.

N

It provides greater autonomy to eat, walk, rest better and perform basic activities.

N
Don't view each cycle as a new setback that's difficult to overcome.
N
Allow your family to go through the oncological process with less anguish, sadness, and fear.
N

Get to the next cycle with more medical follow-up and the feeling that you are not alone in the process.

case and testimony of a patient with cancer

The experience of accompanying a patient.

In this excerpt from Dr. Gregorio León's conference, the testimony is recorded of how Pedro lives his process, what symptoms he presented and what changes he perceives during the accompaniment.

How accompaniment works

Step 1

First medical consultation

$
Review of clinical history, current oncological treatment, symptoms, available laboratory tests, general condition, and patient needs.

Step 2

Assessment of suitability

$
It determines whether the patient can benefit from personalized medical follow-up during chemotherapy.

Step 3

Individualized plan

$
If the case is suitable, a support plan is proposed adapted to the symptoms, the evolution and the moment of the oncological treatment.

Step 4

Follow-up and adjustments

$
Follow-up is carried out during the process, with adjustments based on the patient's response and clinical evolution.
