About this title

Review:

2007 BRITISH MEDICAL ASSOCIATION MEDICAL BOOK AWARDS ONCOLOGY CATEGORY

Highly Commended – Cancer Pain Management, Fisch

‘Cancer Pain Management is extremely comprehensive, dealing with essentially all settings where cancer patients may be seen, and will all conceivable aspects of cancer pain. It covers everything from the basic neurophysiology and pharmacology to psychosocial aspects of pain management in the cancer patient. It is readable without being too simplistic. In an up-to-date manner, the authors set out the evidence behind various treatments and offer the MD Anderson Cancer Centre’s approach to treatment. An excellent manual for any doctor or nurse who deals with cancer patients.’
