Gloassary term:

Supportive treatment

Supportive treatment refers to interventions aimed at alleviating symptoms and improving quality of life for patients, rather than targeting the underlying disease. This approach is crucial in clinical practice as it helps manage complications, enhances patient comfort, and can facilitate recovery. An example is the use of analgesics in cancer patients to manage pain, which is essential for maintaining functionality and emotional well-being during treatment.
