Thoroughly revised and updated for its Second Edition, this volume is 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. More than thirty chapters cover the symptoms and syndromes that can result from cancer or its treatment. Other chapters describe the variety of interventions available for alleviating these symptoms. Close attention is also given to hospice programs, terminal care, and ethical dilemmas in palliative and end-of-life care. This edition features new chapters on complementary and alternative medicine, nutritional support, bone pain, cross-cultural issues, palliative care in the ICU, physiatric approaches to pain, and outcomes assessments in palliative care.
