A research-informed volume on clinical and educational questions in palliative care

The fourth volume in the Topics in Palliative Care series brings together four areas of practice: estimating survival, palliative-care education and training, procoagulant and anticoagulant therapy, and the assessment and management of common symptoms. Its scope extends beyond physical discomfort to include psychosocial, spiritual or existential, and ethical dimensions of care for people with incurable medical disorders. Contributors evaluate available data while placing it in clinical and research contexts, making the collection a focused reference on the varied decisions and concerns that shape palliative-care practice.
