This text is a primer on the care of the patient with cancer of the
gastrointestinal tract, for nurses who may not have experience in
this demanding speciality.
The book begins with a comprehensive look at the issues and
scope of the frequently used term ‘quality of life’. Chapters two
and three take an in-depth look at the impact of cancer on the
individual and the family. Chapters four to six then introduce the
principal aspects of cancer as a disease from both a medical and
nursing perspective, beginning with cancers of the aerodigestive
tract through to lower gastrointestinal cancers.
Chapter seven covers the role of nutrition in the prevention of
cancer and the nutritional management of patients with cancer.
Chapters eight and nine provide a guide to the management of
patients undergoing radiotherapy and chemotherapy in order to
familiarize the gastroenterology nurse with what may lie ahead for
the patient.
The final chapter outlines the principles of symptom management
and palliative care for integration into patient care throughout
the course of cancer.
