Description
This volume is the result of many years of clinical research by medical and health care professionals working with cancer patients and their families. It demonstrates the impact of cancer at different stages of individual and family development - for example the young couple coping with childhood cancer, the older couple with cancer in a spouse, the young adult with cancer, the child facing a parent's death - and how our understanding of these factors influences treatment and management.
