Janet L. Abrahm argues that all causes of suffering experienced by people with cancer, be they physical, psychological, social, or spiritual, should be treated at all stages: at diagnosis, during curative therapy, in the event that cancer recurs, and during the final months. In the second edition of this symptom-oriented guide, she provides primary care physicians, advanced practice nurses, internists and oncologists with detailed information and advice for alleviating the stress and pain of patients and family members alike. The new edition includes the latest information on patient and family communication and counseling, on medical, surgical, and complementary and alternative treatments for symptoms caused by cancer and cancer treatments, and on caring for patients in the last days and their bereaved families. Updated case histories, medication tables, Practice Points, and bibliographies provide clinicians with the information they need to treat their cancer patients effectively and compassionately.

Despite the progress being made in cancer symptom management, many patients with cancer still experience distress in their symptom experience, whether from the disease or its treatment. Symptoms such as pain, nausea, and mucositis, often in combination with other symptoms, pose ongoing challenges to clinicians. Managing symptoms is essential to enhance patients' quality of life, and clinicians must stay up to date on effective, evidence-based interventions. This new edition of A Guide to Oncology Symptom Management provides revised and updated content on the management of common symptoms experienced by patients with cancer. Chapters detail incidence and prevalence of disease-and treatment-related symptoms, describe the pathophysiology related to the topic, and provide appropriate evidence-based assessment and treatment strategies. New chapters examine symptom management at the end of life, symptom distress, and caregiver burden. Featuring case studies and extensive tables and figures to illustrate key points, this accessible yet comprehensive text is an essential resource for oncology nurses and other cancer-care clinicians.
