This is the fifth book in an international, multi-contributed
series aimed at providing practical, clinical guidance on how to
deal with difficult symptoms related to specific cancer sites. In
this volume the Editors bring together first-rate palliative care
with oncological treatment for patients with head and neck cancer.
Head and neck cancer is one of the most frightening and distressing
cancers for patients and their families as it affects appearance,
the ability to speak, and the ability to eat. Pain which is
difficult to treat, infection, and disfiguring surgery with wounds
that often do not heal, are common accompaniments of advanced
disease. In addition, psychological distress, loneliness, and
isolation are often experienced by patients. Head and neck cancer
is not that common but, when it does occur, it very often needs
specialist help from palliative care and hospice clinicians. There
is little written on this subject and this book provides a
comprehensive, practical guide that draws together all the
information in an easily accessible format. It is an essential
reference for on the ward, or before going to a home visit. The
Palliative Care Consultations series is primarily aimed at those
individuals working in an acute hospital cancer centre and/or
tertiary referral centre. Books are designed to give the busy
clinician advice on clinical problems, both those rarely
encountered and those that are very common, but difficult. The
volumes are site specific and each volume encompasses a review of
the current oncological or haemato-oncological management of
advanced disease with symptom control advice. These volumes give
clinicians excellent advice on symptom control in the context of
palliative care. The books are also of use and interest to other
professions working in acute hospitals.
