Leading palliative care experts illustrate how you can improve both communication with cancer patients and their quality of life.

For more than twenty years, this guide has been the go-to resource for busy practicing oncology and palliative care clinicians. This fourth edition, now titled Comprehensive Guide to Supportive and Palliative Care for Patients with Cancer, provides physicians, advanced practice clinicians, and patients and their families with detailed information and advice for alleviating the suffering of cancer patients and their loved ones. Drawing on the work of experts who have developed revolutionary approaches to symptom management and palliative care, as well as on lessons learned during her decades as a teacher and clinician, Dr. Janet L. Abrahm and her coauthors illustrate how to help patients and families understand their prognosis, communicate their care preferences, and minimize their distress.

This edition reflects important updates in the field while addressing the informational needs of a broader market of health care providers, including social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists, bereavement counselors, and chaplains. This new edition features three new chapters―”Spiritual Care in Palliative Care,” “Psychological Considerations,” and “Bereavement”―as well as specific guidelines about
• advance care planning at all phases of cancer
• understanding complex family dynamics and communication challenges
• partnering with interpreters in the care of patients and family members with limited English-language proficiency
• special considerations to take into account for LGBTQ+ patients and their loved ones
• caring for patients who have a serious mental illness along with a cancer diagnosis
• nonpharmacologic management of pain and other symptoms associated with cancer or its treatment

The book features self-reflective exercises that encourage readers to consider their own biases before having discussions with patients and family members, as well as numerous patient stories that illustrate the techniques and insights clinicians can use to provide holistic, multidimensional care for a diverse cancer patient population.

Human Papillomavirus: Proving and Using a Viral Cause for Cancer 1st Edition

 Oncology  Comments Off on Human Papillomavirus: Proving and Using a Viral Cause for Cancer 1st Edition
Jan 142025
 

Human Papillomavirus: Proving and Using a Viral Cause for Cancer presents a steady and massive accumulation of evidence about the role of HPV and prevention of HPV-induced cancer, along with the role and personal commitment of many scientists of different backgrounds in establishing global relevance. This exercise involved years of personal commitment to proving or disproving an idea that aroused initial skepticism, and that still has difficult implications for some. It remains one of the big successes of medicine that exploited both established medical science dating back to the nineteenth century and new molecular genetic science during a time of transition in medicine.

 

Presents a comprehensive, up-to-date review of the role of HPV in cancer from those involved in its study

Includes the way evidence on the role and utility of HPV based prevention has been accumulated over almost 40 years

Gives a series of vignettes of individual scientists involved in the development of the science of HPV and cancer at different stages and their experiences and reasons for involvement

Ovarian Cancer: The “Gynaecological Challenge” from Diagnostic Work-Up to Cytoreduction and Chemotherapy. Volume 1

 Ob/Gynae, Oncology  Comments Off on Ovarian Cancer: The “Gynaecological Challenge” from Diagnostic Work-Up to Cytoreduction and Chemotherapy. Volume 1
Jan 142025
 

Ovarian cancer is one of the deadliest gynaecological cancers. In most cases, it is detected as an advanced tumor, since early diagnosis is challenging for most forms of the disease. Surgery and platinum-based compounds have been the mainstay of therapy for many years. The prognosis for ovarian cancer depends on the type of surgery and on the response to chemotherapy. Other regimens have little effect if the disease does not respond to platinum. However, several new therapies are emerging including bevacizumab and PARP-inhibitors, among others. This book provides a detailed body of information important to an understanding of the clinical aspects and management of such a challenging disease. The authors strive to provide the physician with insights and illustrations as well as useful tips and tricks for the everyday clinical practice. Several world-known experts in the field participated in this fruitful effort offering their knowledge and everyday experience, as well as valuable and original photos from their personal archives as well as the most recent and up-to-date guidelines in the field. In this book, we evaluate all the challenging pathways from the moment of diagnosis to the surgical and medical therapies. The pathogenesis, the variation of the morphological types and the problems in differential diagnosis are also discussed.

Cancer through the Lens of Evolution and Ecology 1st Edition

 Oncology  Comments Off on Cancer through the Lens of Evolution and Ecology 1st Edition
Jan 122025
 

Cancer cells exist in an ever-changing “ecology” and are subject to evolutionary pressures just like any species in nature. This edited book explores the following themes: 1) how the dynamics of mutation, epigenetics, and gene expression noise are sources of genetic diversity; 2) how scarce resources influence cancer therapy resistance; 3) how predator-prey dynamics are mirrored in immune-cancer cross-talk; 4) how cancer cells parallel niche construction theory; 5) how changing fitness landscapes enable cancer growth; and 6) how cancer cells interact within the body. The book is a resource for understanding cancer as a disease of multicellularity grounded in evolutionary principles. By using this knowledge, researchers are starting to exploit these behaviors for treatment paradigms.

 

Key Features

 

Bridges disciplines exemplifying the ways disparate fields create new perspectives when integrated.

Offers insights from leading scholars in cancer biology, ecology and evolutionary biology.

Provides a timely recognition by oncologists that evolutionary paradigms are crucial for breakthroughs in cancer treatment.

Integrates basic and applied sciences of oncology and evolutionary biology.
