Review:
Review from previous edition. It is a tribute to the authors' editorial skills that the information reflects up to date knowledge and practice without compromising the desire for reasonable size...This is not a reference text, yet retains the ability to efficiently inform the clinical practice of those involved in palliation for cancer patients. A worthy read.
