Cancer: Palliative Care examines the nature of the care and support
that can be provided to those in need of palliative care and their
families. This covers not only the physical treatment, such as pain
management, but also the psychological well-being of patients. Health
workers, clinicians, specialist nurses and medical students will find a
balanced and thoughtful overview of the subject which will be of value
in managing patients and helping them to come to terms with their
condition.
