| Abstract
|
:
|
This volume challenges physicians, nurses and social workers to deliver optimal supportive therapy and care to cancer patients in all stages and forms of their manifold neoplastic diseases. Too often, supportive measures such as pain control and psychosocial support are regarded as aspects of "terminal care" of cancer patients or approached in a suboptimal, isolated fashion by various monodisciplinary specialists. General and holistic supportive care, however, which integrates the professional skills of many disciplines is needed right from the beginning of cancer diagnosis. Medical, nursing, social and psychological care should be adapted subsequently as required to the various stages of the illness. Only through this interdisciplinary approach will the patient feel truly supported during his crucial fight with cancer. The chapters of the volume deal with all important aspects of supportive care: pain control, control of bleeding and infection, psychosocial support, nursing support, side effects of cancer therapy, quality of life, education about cancer, as well as supportive care for children with cancer and families affected by neoplastic diseases.
