Gives the busy clinician advice on difficult clinical problems
Reviews
I enjoyed reading this book because it was written for health professionals who face patients with gynaecological cancer and not only for palliative care specialists. (...) I welcome this book to the series and congratulate the authors, who show and skill in providing emotional and medical support in pursuit of the well-being of suffering patients. * Hospice Information Bulletin *
The main strength of the book is its emphasis on practical issues and a multidisciplinary approach to patient management . . . It was particularly refreshing to see emphasis on the appropriateness of various interventions depending on the patient's goals, life expectancy and the likelihood of improving quality of life . . . In summary, this book was informative and easy to read . . . The book would serve as a very useful starting point for all members of a multidisciplinary team caring for patients with gynaecological malignancies. * Palliative Medicine, 19 *
. . . an excellent resource for anybody who deals with advanced gynaecological cancer . . . The authors discuss the wide range of causes and offer numerous excellent suggestions for management . . . I discovered a helpful text to which I shall be referring many times in the future. * Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, Vol 97 *
This book contains a wealth of information pertinent to the good symptomatic care of patients with advanced gynaecological malignancy and will be a welcome addition to the palliative care unit bookshelf. * IAHPC Website *
