This set includes one clinical volume that deal with cancer pain - from the basic mechanisms underlying the development of pain, to the various treatments that can be applied in different clinical situations. A second volume, Practical Applications and Procedures, complements providing helpful advice on practical aspects of clinical management and research, including protocols and established clinical guidelines: in effect, it is a 'ready-reference manual' for the busy clinician.
