Pain Management in Palliative Care for Patients with Cancer (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780443300509)

Pain Management in Palliative Care for Patients With Cancer provides healthcare professionals with holistic guidelines and whole-patient treatment philosophies that help practitioners address a patient's total needs. It is the only all-in-one resource for when the cancer patient and palliative care patient are one and the same. While other books focus on analgesics, this resource updates on how early palliative pain treatment can often be achieved by palliative chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or other methods. The myth that palliative care is only appropriate in late-stage illness persists not only among laypersons, but amongst many doctors as well.

This book provides insights into what are commonly treated as unrelated disciplines, when in fact cancer care and palliative care have much to teach each other when it comes to oncology patients.
