El. knyga: Palliative Care Consultations in Gynaeoncology illustrated edition [Oxford Scholarship Online E-books]

This is the second book in a new international, multi-contributed series aimed at providing practical, clinical guidance on how to deal with difficult symptoms related to specific cancer sites. In gynaecology there are a number of symptoms which cause great distress to the individual and their families, and perplexity to the physicians and nurses caring for them. This volume covers the management of incurable disease for each of the most common cancers followed by a review of the most difficult symptoms that are encountered in this tumor group. Contributors provide scientific background to symptom-control chapters, with an indication of the sources and evidence for their advice.
Specialists in palliative care and oncology setings, working in the acute sector and in hospices, will find this book invaluable. It will also appeal to consultants as well as specialist registrars, clinical nurse specialists and nurse practitioners in palliative care, oncology and gynaecology.
