This sixth edition of the Oxford
Textbook of Palliative Medicine
takes us now into the third decade
for this definitive award-winning
textbook. It has been rigorously
updated to offer a truly global
perspective, highlighting the best
current evidence-based practices,
and collective wisdom from more than
200 experts around the world. This
leading textbook covers all the new
and emerging topics, updated and
restructured to reflect major
developments in the increasingly
widespread acceptance of palliative
medicine as a fundamental public
health need. The sixth edition
includes new sections devoted to
family and caregiver issues,
cardio-respiratory symptoms and
disorders, and genitourinary
symptoms and disorders. In addition,
the multi-disciplinary nature of
palliative care is emphasized
throughout the textbook, covering
areas from ethical and communication
issues, the treatment of symptoms,
and the management of pain. The
Oxford Textbook of Palliative
Medicine is a truly comprehensive
text. No hospital, hospice,
palliative care service, or medical
library should be without this
essential source of information.
This sixth edition of the Oxford
Textbook of Palliative Medicine is
dedicated to the memory of Professor
Kenneth Fearon, husband of Professor
Marie Fallon and a surgeon who
became a world leader in the
research and management of anorexia
and cachexia. He modeled a work-life
balance that is so critical in our
field, with devotion to both his
patients and his family.
