Rehabilitation in Cancer Care is an essential clinical
resource for all Allied Health Professionals working within or
entering this specialist area. It provides practical guidance for
the rehabilitation of people with cancer or those receiving
palliative care. As well as explaining the key skills required at
every stage of the cancer journey, the book specifically offers
advice on diagnosis, treatment, management and effective
interventions. Furthermore the role of each member of the
interdisciplinary team is clearly explained at each stage, as is
the importance of team work and holistic care.
Section 1 introduces the reader to the rationale for the
rehabilitation of people with cancer or those receiving palliative
care, Section 2 looks at the multi-professional management of
common cancers and Section 3 looks at symptom management.
