Integrated Cancer Care: Holistic, Complementary and Creative Approaches

by Jennifer Barraclough

Complementary therapies are increasingly used in the care of cancer patients, the terminally ill and for respite care of children and there is an increasing body of research in the field. This book looks critically at the use of complementary medicine in palliative care, evaluating the different approaches and, where appropriate, discussing the integration of these therapies into conventional care. This volume should prove valuable to both the cancer and palliative medicine markets. This title is intended for healthcare professionals in oncology and palliative care, palliative medicine trainees and clinicians, MacMillan nurses, palliative care physiotherapists and all other professionals involved in the multidisciplinary team care of the hospice/community based teams.
