| Description: |
Given that curative treatment is possible in only half of cancer victims, and frequently fails, most patients with cancer will require palliative treatment. This volume considers the role of radiation therapy, as well as pain management, complications, medication and end of life care. |
| Synopsis: |
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 to radiation oncologists and medical students. |
