Palliative Medicine 18 (3) A text which provides adequate information, is up-to-date, and avoids provincial preferences in cancer management is an important contribution to the field... This book is well constructed, encompasses a vast array of topics and is multiauthored by writing style... This text will be helpful for those who are entering palliative medicine from a nononcology background. Physicians in training, nurses and other healthcare professionals will find this text a basic background resource to the field of oncology, which is not overwhelming in detail.
