As the effects of the underlying tumour and its therapy can often make the patient very ill, careful management is required if the harmful complications of the cancer itself and the side effects of the drugs and radiation are to be avoided. 'Supportive Care of the Cancer Patient' provides strategies for the optimum management of such patients. The emphasis is on maximising both quality and duration of life. As well as focusing on the serious and often life-threatening complications resulting from cancer and its treatment, this book offers guidance on psychological support for cancer patients and their medical carers, the role of cytokines, and interventional radiology in the management of malignant disease. 'Supportive Care of the Cancer Patient' will prove invaluable to all those caring for cancer patients, particulary those patients undergoing intensive chemotherapy
