The Centre for Cancer and Palliative Care Studies based at The Royal Marsden Hospital is the leading research centre into the disabling effects of breathlessness in patients with lung cancer. Professor Corner has led this research into breathlessness and is the foremost authority on the subject. This book takes a practical approach to the subject and covers the management of breathlessness comprehensively. It includes pathophysiology and conventional medical therapies, as well as presenting new and innovative non-pharmacological approaches to breathlessness management. This is both an informative and authoritative introduction to breathlessness and its management, and a practical text for clinicians, nurses and other health professionals to use in their day to day practice.
