RESUMO
The accepted postsurgical first-line therapy for primary peritoneal cancer has been a regime of chemotherapy. This paper reports the case of an 89-year-old female who refused chemotherapy but accepted a nutritional alternative. Results after more than 4 years of the nutritional regime have been encouraging with regards to objective and subjective measures.

A novel use of store-forward telemedicine is described in which healthcare information is provided via internet-based information and communication technologies (ICTs) to an intermediary (a third-party observer) rather than directly to the patient to deliver suicide prevention e-healthcare. To be effective, information must be tailored specifically for each type of intermediary to enable improved decision making in interacting with the patient. The healthcare system filters data and delivers personalised healthcare information enabled by Internet-based ICTs for a specific type of user. An application to mental health is presented.
