Topics in Palliative Care, Volume 3

"This book represents a strong, ongoing commitment to lead North American (and perhaps global) palliative care into the next millennium. Each topic covered reveals a timely attempt to synthesize the state of the art (and the science lacking) in this exciting and rapidly evolving field."--Doody's Electronic Journal Noted in Cancer Forum "This book presents four topics in palliative care: pediatric palliativecare, management of bone pain, psychopathology in patients with cancer, and management of skin disorders. It is concise, yet it contains extensive de- tailed references. Its language is flowing and easy to read, yet the book includes many tables for ready reference.... "This book is a good addition to the literature, and the editors have to be credited for bringing together these four topics." From the 'Annals of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada."
