Palliative surgery can greatly contribute to improving symptom
control and quality of life for terminal cancer patients. Owing to
the advanced stage of the disease, however, this type of surgery is
also associated with significant morbidity and mortality. It is
therefore important for surgeons to have a sound understanding of
the medical and scientific background underlying treatment
decisions in palliative surgery, a foundation that this book
provides. The opening chapters examine the relationship between
palliative medicine and palliative surgery and address general
issues including pain management and anesthesiological
considerations. The role of palliative surgery in a wide range of
disease settings is then thoroughly explored, including detailed
information on surgical techniques and their indications and
outcomes. This book will be an invaluable resource for all who wish
to learn more about the emerging role of palliative surgery.
