Topics in Palliative Care, Volume 1 Summary

Topics in Palliative Care, Volume 1 by Russell K. Portenoy, MD (Director, Analgesic Studies, Pain Service, Department of Neurology, Director, Analgesic Studies, Pain Service, Department of Neurology, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and Cornell University Medical Centre)

Palliative care, which focuses on the management of phenomena that produce discomfort and otherwise undermine the quality of life of patients with incurable medical disorders, is a clinical specialty that is just beginning to define itself in the United States. This first volume in the Topics in Palliative Care series will discuss palliative care topics, such as pharmacotherapy of pain, adjustments to cancer, management of delirium, and gastrointestinal disorders.

Topics in Palliative Care, Volume 1 Reviews

Each topic comprises a clear introduction followed by three or four chapters on a specific issue. Few will read this volume without developing new ideas for research and audit. Those more interested in clinical issues will find much to satisfy them... those with an interest in evidence-based palliative care as opposed to 'fashion-based' care will find plenty to satisfy them. * Palliative Medicine *
