Breitbart, and Yesne Alici (eds), Psychosocial Palliative Care (New York , 2014; online edn, Oxford Academic, 1 Aug. 2014), https://doi.org/10.1093/med/9780199917402.003.0010, accessed 4 May 2025.
Abstract
In addition to the diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric disorders in palliative care settings, pain and other troublesome physical symptoms must also be aggressively treated in efforts aimed at the enhancement of the patient’s quality of life. These symptoms must be assessed by the psycho-oncologist concerned with the assessment and treatment of affective and other syndromes in the terminally ill population. This chapter provides a brief overview of the prevalence, assessment, and management of the commonly encountered, distressing physical symptoms such as pain, insomnia, and nausea among patients with advanced cancer.
