Internal Medicine Issues in Palliative Cancer Care

Editat de David Hui, Eduardo Bruera
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 mai 2014
Patients with advanced cancer may develop a number of clinical complications related to tumor progression or a variety of aggressive treatments. The majority of these patients are elderly, often with multiple co-morbidities that require appropriate assessment and management. In the palliative stage of their disease, patients undergo a progressive transition from active acute care to community-based hospice care. This transition requires modification in the diagnostic tests, monitoring procedures and pharmacological treatments to adjust them to the palliative and short-term nature of the care. Internal Medicine Issues in Palliative Cancer Care looks at internal medicine through a prognosis-based framework and provides a practical approach to maximizing comfort and quality of life while minimizing aggressive investigations and therapies for patients with life-limiting disease. Forty-six common internal medicine conditions are organized into nine clinical categories: pulmonary, cardiovascular, nephrologic and metabolic, gastrointestinal, hematologic, infectious, endocrine, rheumatologic, and neuro-psychiatric. This evidence-based resource is ideal for educating clinicians delivering palliative care to cancer patients in acute care facilities about complex internal medicine problems, decision-making regarding diagnostics and therapeutics which require a good understanding of state-of-the-art internal medicine and palliative care principles.

Recenzii

This is a valuable book for everyone caring for palliative and hospice patients as it puts many issues into wider perspective.
this book should be available on the palliative care service and the oncology ward for quick reference... it should be required reading for oncology trainees.
This is a useful new reference book for the complex, and increasingly common area of managing medical complications and co-morbidities in palliative cancer care
