Various sections discuss aspects of symptom control, psychosocial functioning, spiritual orr existential concerns,ethics, and other topics. The four sections in this volume are; Survival Estimation in Palliative Care, Education and Training in Palliative Care, Procoagulant and Anticoagulant Therapy in Palliative Care, and Issues in the Assessment and Management of Common Symptoms. The authors present and evaluateexisting data, provide a context drawn from both the clinic and research, and integrate knowledge in a manner that is both practical and readable.
