Description
The first truly interdisciplinary book on supportive oncology and palliative care returns with a new edition that serves as a practical guide to the management of the myriad symptoms and quality-of-life issues that occur in patients with cancer--including newly diagnosed patients, patients undergoing treatment, cancer survivors, and patients whose disease is no longer curable. The interdisciplinary group of contributors includes leading experts in hospice care and palliative medicine, oncology, nursing, neurology, psychiatry, anesthesiology, and pharmacology. This completely revised edition features new chapters on caregiver stress, hepatic failure, pulmonary failure, research issues in palliative care, and beginning a palliative care program. Content has been aligned with the needs of today's palliative care fellowship programs and includes additional tables, algorithms, and flow charts.

IAHPC (International Association for Hospice and Palliative Care), 28-FEB-07, Roger Woodruff (Director of Palliative Care) -- "The new edition of a book you have enjoyed using in the past is always a pleasure. As one who practises in both medical oncology and palliative medicine, I have often said that palliative care is not just about terminal care and that the principles of palliative care, both psychosocial and medical, should be incorporated in the care of cancer patients much earlier in the course of their journey. And that's what this book is all about. I can nit-pick, but I have to admit that I did not come across anything to which I took exception. There is a reasonably generous use of illustrations and tables. Overall, it's an excellent publication and the editors are to be congratulated: it provides a comprehensive coverage of the field, it's up to date, it's well-referenced and well-indexed. It belongs on the shelf in the hospice/palliative care ward and the medical oncology ward."."
