Douleurs en oncologie

A detailed update on research and the latest progress against pain
People suffering from cancer now live longer thanks to progress in various forms of treatment for the illness, but also thanks to those responsible for caring for them.
Although the pain is still there, foreseeable and identifiable, it can now be prevented. Pain that results from some types of treatment can be avoided or weighed up against other treatment options, especially pharmacology which has made tremendous progress in both qualitative and quantitative terms over the past decade.
The authors provide a clear, precise and educational view of current knowledge about pain related to cancer and report on research and the most recent progress in this area.
Written by doctors, nurses and psychologists, all of them specializing in pain relief, this book will interest all medical and paramedical staff whose work involves caring for cancer patients.
