Reviews

This is a useful book. It is brief, well written and easy to read. Any chapter can be read independently according to interest; all provide a wealth of information. Journal of Advanced Nursing ... this concise text is a welcome addition to the palliative-care series; it will be easily accessible to a team of multiprofessionals working with these patients, from the junior resident to medical and paramedical specialists. As a neurosurgeon, I have found this title valuable in re-inforcing, complementing, and aiding the multidisciplinary treatment of these patients. The Lancet Neurology, Vol 4 This is a useful and up to date synopsis of the interface between neuro-oncology and palliative care. It will be a useful addition to the library shelf of any palliative care service. IAHPC Website
