Principles and Practice of Palliative Care and Supportive Oncology, Third Edition, is a truly interdisciplinary book that serves as a practical guide to the management of the myriad symptoms and quality-of-life issues that occur in patients with cancer. It addresses new diagnosed patients, patients undergoing treatment, cancer survivors, and patients whose disease is no longer curable.

This third edition features new chapters on caregiver stress, hepatic failure, pulmonary failure, research issues in palliative care, and beginning a palliative care program. New to this addition are additional tables, algorithms, and flow charts.

An interdisciplinary group of contributors includes leading experts in hospice care and palliative medicine, oncology, nursing, neurology, psychiatry, anesthesiology, and pharmacology.
