This book brings together in one volume many important topics about
death and dying, including the pathophysiology of death, the causes
of death among cancer patients, the ethics of death, the legal
aspects of death for the physician and for the patient and
caregivers, the economics of death, the medical management of the
dying patient, including pain and dyspnea, the prediction of death,
and the spiritual management of the dying patient. It also
discusses other medical and humanistic aspects of death and dying,
such as the historical definition of death and various cultures'
and religions' viewpoints on death and the afterlife. Everybody,
including every patient with cancer, will die, and every physician
will have to assist dying patients. Oncologists face this prospect
more often than many physicians. And yet to date there has been no
comprehensive textbook on Thanatology, the academic discipline
studying death and dying, to assist oncologists in this difficult
task. This book will help the physician to understand his or her
own relationship with death and to communicate about death and
dying with the patient and the patient's caregivers.
