Abstract:
:Nearly all the topics considered by medical ethics generally present themselves to those caring for cancer patients. Although most attention may be given to questions of resource allocation and limiting treatment, other issues are of equal importance. Providing respect and compassion for patients may be even more important. The day-to-day treatment of the patient that recognizes the practical autonomy of the patient and legitimizes the patient's involvement in deciding about his or her own care may do more to preserve the integrity of the patient as a person than anything else that happens to someone who accepts the cancer diagnosis. The physician who can accept the patient's judgment and participation and who can help the patient find positive meaning in what can be a personally and socially devastating disease experience has enacted a highly laudatory ethical standard of patient care.
