Cancer imposes severe physical, psychological, social, and spiritual burdens on patients and their families. In A Physician's Guide to Pain and Symptom Management in Cancer Patients, Dr. Janet Abrahm argues that this suffering should be prevented or treated at all stages: at diagnosis, during curative therapy, in the event that cancer recurs, during the final months. To help primary care physicians, advanced practicenurses, internists and oncologists alleviate distress, she provides a detailed guide both for the difficult discussions and for the treatment of the symptoms that are likely to occur. In Part I, Dr. Abrahm reviews a variety of important issues facing cancer patients and their families, focusing particularly on the |unasked questions| they are afraid to raise but that weigh heavily on their minds. She reviews, for example, how to break bad news; how to discuss advance directives and living wills; how to answer requests for assisted suicide; how to overcome misconceptions and persuade patients to take the opioids they really need; and how to help patients and families cope when cure is no longer possible. Part II is a comprehensive guide to controlling pain, managing other symptoms, providing comfort during the patient's last days, and helping the bereaved survivors. This thorough and compassionate manual is symptom-oriented and patient-focused, featuring the input of all members of the health care and hospice teams, as well as useful case histories, extensive tables of medications, illustrations of pain assessment scales, |practice points| for easy reference, and bibliographies for physicians and for patients and their families.
