Ps4 target port quez stresser9/11/2023 Cancer is an exception to the coordinated interaction among cells and organs. Every ache or pain takes on desperate significance. He or she is being attacked and invaded by a disease that could be anywhere in the body. By contrast, the patient with pancreatic cancer has a completely altered self-image and is viewed differently by family and anyone who knows the diagnosis. However, the patient with heart disease may remain functional and maintain a self-image as a fully intact person with just a malfunctioning part, a diseased organ (“a bum ticker”). The prognosis of a person who has just been found to have pancreatic cancer is the same as the prognosis of the person with aortic stenosis who develops the first symptoms of congestive heart failure (median survival, ~8 months). Independent of prognosis, the diagnosis brings with it a change in a person’s self-image and in his or her role in the home and workplace. Nevertheless, patients experience the diagnosis of cancer as one of the most traumatic and revolutionary events that has ever happened to them. The application of current treatment techniques (surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and biologic therapy) results in the cure of nearly two of three patients diagnosed with cancer.
