Radiation Oncology for Cure and Palliation Hardback
by R.G. Parker, N.A. Janjan, M.T. Selch
Part of the Radiation Oncology series
Hardback
Description
Given that treatment with curative intent is possible in only one-half of cancer victims, and that such treatment frequently fails, the majority of patients with cancer will require relief of symptoms and signs caused by their disease.
In this book, the specific contribution of radiation therapy to palliation is considered within the context of multidisciplinary management.
Individual chapters are devoted to palliative radiation therapy for primary tumours and metastases at different sites.
The management of pain is discussed, and chapters are also devoted to end of life care, the management of complications of radiation therapy, and useful medications.
This book will prove useful and interesting not only to radiation oncologists but also to medical students of all ages and to doctors from all disciplines who are concerned with the relief or prevention of suffering in patients with cancer.
