When should you stop cancer treatment?

An interesting article was published on the rosoncoweb website in the format of a discussion scene "When the end is near: to be treated in order to live - or to live in order to be treated?". Two well-known representatives of the medical community collided in it: doctors of medical sciences, professors Zhukov Nikolai Vladimirovich and Mitin Timur.

Opponents argue on the topic: when the patient should stop his treatment.

Of course, the question they face is highly debatable, partly even philosophical. And both experts do not consider their point of view radical, they were given the task of choosing a certain polarity from a certain "golden mean".

It is impossible to accept the point of view of a certain specialist "100%" in this discussion, but the doctors of the K+31 West clinic are closer to the position of Timur Mitin. Full provision to the patient of information about his condition and the possibilities of modern medicine, as well as feedback between the "patient-doctor" interaction, allows a person not to lose heart, to give, at times, the necessary hope and faith for the patient.
