Palliative care provides comprehensive support for severely
affected patients with any life-limiting or life-threatening
diagnosis. To do this effectively, it requires a disease-specific
approach as the patients' needs and clinical context will vary
depending on the underlying diagnosis. Experts in the field of
palliative care and oncology describe in detail the needs of
patients with advanced cancer in comparison to those with
non-cancer disease and also identify the requirements of patients
with different cancer entities. Basic principles of symptom control
are explained, with careful attention to therapy for pain
associated with either the cancer or its treatment and to
symptom-guided antineoplastic therapy. Complex therapeutic
strategies for palliative cancer patients are highlighted that
involve both cancer- and symptom-directed options and address a
range of therapeutic aims. Issues relating to drug use in
palliative cancer care are fully explored, and a separate section
is devoted to care in the final phase. A range of organizational
and policy issues are also discussed, and the book concludes by
considering likely future developments in palliative care for
cancer patients. Palliative Care in Oncology will be of particular
interest to palliative care physicians who are interested in
broadening the scope of their disease-specific knowledge, as well
as to oncologists who wish to learn more about modern palliative
care concepts relevant to their day-to-day work with cancer
patients.
