For more than twenty years, this guide has been the go-to resource for busy practicing oncology and palliative care clinicians. This fourth edition, now titled Comprehensive Guide to Supportive and Palliative Care for Patients with Cancer, provides physicians, advanced practice clinicians, and patients and their families with detailed information and advice for alleviating the suffering of cancer patients and their loved ones. Drawing on the work of experts who have developed revolutionary approaches to symptom management and palliative care, as well as on lessons learned during her decades as a teacher and clinician, Dr. Janet L. Abrahm and her coauthors illustrate how to help patients and families understand their prognosis, communicate their care preferences, and minimize their distress.

This new edition features three new chapters—"Spiritual Care in Palliative Care," "Psychological Considerations," and "Bereavement"—as well as specific guidelines about
• advance care planning at all phases of cancer
• understanding complex family dynamics and communication challenges
• partnering with interpreters in the care of patients and family members with limited English-language proficiency
• special considerations to take into account for LGBTQ+ patients and their loved ones
• caring for patients who have a serious mental illness along with a cancer diagnosis
• nonpharmacologic management of pain and other symptoms associated with cancer or its treatment

Pain is a frequent and distressing symptom encountered by those with serious or life-limiting illness and may present in a multitude of fashions and from a wide array of etiologies. This book intertwines pharmacologic, nonpharmacologic, and ethical principles of pain control within case-based discussions, allowing readers to expect:

· Unique perspectives of pain control, from numerous essential members of the healthcare team;
· An engaging collection of cases that illustrate the most current approaches to the most commonly encountered pain syndromes in palliative care;
