Abstract

Dignified management of cancer patients is based on respect, empathy and quality of life. It seeks to ensure that patients are treated with dignity and consideration, receiving care that is centered on them and that addresses their physical, emotional and psychological needs. It is a humane and ethical approach that promotes the well-being and quality of life of cancer patients.
