Abstract

Radiation therapy is an effective modality to alleviate cancer-related symptoms. To deliver radiation accurately, it is essential to secure stability of the treatment position in patients during each treatment time. However, some patients could be less cooperative due to their psychoemotional issues. We present two cases of terminal-stage cancer patients who were initially unable to lie still on the treatment table before simulation. A relaxation technique was taught to them on the bed, and they could relax and undergo radiation therapy with effective symptom relief.

방사선치료는 암과 관련된 증상을 완화시키는 목적으로 자주 사용되고 있다. 정확하고 안전한 방사선치료를 받기 위해서는 방사선이 나오는 동안 치료 테이블 위에 가만히 누워 있어야 한다. 그러나 일부 환자는 기질적인 문제 외에 심리적인 문제에서 기인한 증상으로 인해 가만히 누워 있지 못한다. 이 논문에서는 모의치료 단계 전부터 치료 테이블에 바로 누워 있지 못했지만 별 다른 장소에서의 교육 참여 없이 침상에서 쉽게 할 수 있는 이완요법을 배워 방사선치료 하는 동안 가만히 누워 있는 게 가능했던 두 명의 말기암환자 사례를 보고하고자 한다.
