Supportive Care for the Urology Patient
Oxford University Press (Verlag)
978-0-19-852941-5 (ISBN)
It begins by looking at quality of life measurements, self-help strategies, the role of the interdisciplinary team, and psychological and social support. It then moves on to clinical chapters which cover issues such as patients who present with hematuria, urinary retention, urinary incontinence, neurological disease affecting the urinary tract, chronic prostatitis, and infertility; ending with a chapter on supportive care for the urology patient and family in the future. The book places a special emphasis on symptomatic interventions, particularly in the setting where the course of the illness cannot be modified.
David Currow is Editor in Chief of the leading journal, Progress in Palliative Care
