SELECTION OF AN OPTIMAL PALLIATIVE STATUS ASSESSMENT SCALE IN PATIENTS WITH CERVICAL CANCER
https://doi.org/10.52485/19986173_2025_3_96
Abstract
The article presents the results of the subject-content analysis of the assessment scales of palliative status in patients with cervical cancer. The study was conducted on the basis of a four-stage review of domestic and foreign literature. Among the most considered by researchers indicators for determining the prognostic status are: the use of data on tumor localization, the presence of metastases, the assessment of the state according to ECOG or Karnovsky, the presence of certain clinical triggers and screening of symptoms with targeted early palliative care. The spread of most indicators across the study matrix indicates a significant diversity of approaches among different scientists to forming an assessment of the palliative status of patients with cervical cancer and the absence of uniform, unified principles for predicting risks in this category of patients. It was found that despite the increased interest in palliative status assessment tools for the purpose of timely referral to a set of palliative care measures, a limited number of studies have been conducted on this topic with different results of referral to palliative care. It has been stated that future prognostic models should reflect the treatment goal and, perhaps more importantly, social tactics for these categories of patients at later stages.
