Abstract:	This book provides, in a single source, all the information a health care professional needs to diagnose and select appropriate treatments for the patient with pain associated with cancer. The book is clinically oriented and comprehensively addresses all the issues surrounding modern cancer pain management. The authors take the reader through this process logically and provide detailed information on common but difficult to treat cancer pain scenarios. Coverage includes up-to-date information on treatment options and discussions of the impact of radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery on pain management. The book is based on the two authors' personal experiences in managing the pain of patients with cancer. It is comprehensive is size with exhaustive literature reviews on each topic. It is integrated, rather than fragmented by multiple contributors with varying styles and goals. The book will be an authoritative, comprehensive clinical review of state-of-the-art cancer pain management aimed at all clinicians who treat patients with cancer, including medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, surgeons, pain specialists, anesthesiologists, primary care physicians, internists, and nurses.
