Book synopsis

This volume represents an up-to-date and comprehensive survey of recent advances in all aspects of supportive care in cancer patients. It differs from other publications by its timely multiprofessional and cooperative approaches to the broad spectrum of supportive needs in cancer patients, focusing on support in the early stages as much as in the terminal stages of their illness. The book covers vital subjects such as diligently dealing with cancer pain, nausea and emesis, nutrition in cancer patients, infection, surgical palliative measures, vascular access problems as well as psychosocial and spiritual support in advanced stages of neoplastic disease. Recent developments are discussed in the areas of analgesics, antiemetics, antibiotics, vascular access devices, food supply and the coping of cancer patients as well as caregivers with suffering and death. This is an excellent update of recent progress since the first such conference and volume published in the Recent Results in Cancer Research series.
