Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of home medical care support system to relieve the symptom and regional alliances for elderly cancer patients. We investigated clinical parameters to study the features of this system. The home medical care support system is designed for patients who are B75-year-old with decrease in activities of daily living and severe dementia. The support system plays a significant role in patients with impaired oral ingestion, dyspnea, delirium, and a poor general status.
