Description and Table of Contents
Description
Palliative Care Consultations in Haemato-oncology is the first book in a new international, multi-contributed series aimed at providing practical, clinical guidance on how to deal with difficult symptoms related to specific cancer sites. Patients with haematological malignancy often undergo the most rigorous treatments, usually requiring long inpatient stays at tertiary referral centres far removed from friends, families and everyday life. The treatment
for some malignancies is palliative, although aggressive, from diagnosis and there can be a number of difficult symptom-control problems all of which are covered in this book. This volume draws on the expertise of the haematologist who is vital if the patient is to have optimal care and provides practical
advice in an easily accessible form so that the book can be read and referred to on the ward, or before a domiciliary visit.
