Symptom control is very important for the quality of life for bone and brain metastases patients. This is an evolving active field of research as greater emphasis is being placed into understanding the goals of improving not only a patient⁰́₉s survival, but the ability for therapies to improve the quality of a patient's life. Beyond management and technical research, studies aimed at bettering our understanding of what patients in palliative care face at the end of life are important for the care we need to provide to this population. In particular, leading research in patient and physician communication with respect to palliative patients and models to predict survival are essential so that we can better understand when to focus more on symptom control as opposed to cancer control. As cancer patients live longer, we foresee greater efforts in this area of cancer research to better serve our patients at the end of their life. In this book, we present experience from the Department of Radiation Oncology, Odette Cancer Centre, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto, Canada with case reports and experiences on various interventions in advanced cancer, quality of life assessment tools, symptom management, radiation induced nausea and vomitting, bone metastases and advanced lung disease

'Oncology and Palliative Social Work' is a clinician desk reference that illustrates the need for integrating early palliative care for patients with cancer and the important role social workers have in providing psychosocial support services across the cancer trajectory. There is a convergence of oncology and palliative social work specialties in the delivery of comprehensive, culturally-congruent, whole person cancer care. The volume reflects the collective knowledge, skills, clinical experience and perspectives of a diverse group of interprofessional contributors, including best practices, emerging trends and priorities in psychosocial oncology, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on this evolving landscape.

People have been thinking, writing and proposing legislation about euthanasia for decades. Arguments from either side have been weighted with moral, religious, ethical, social, human and scientific issues. We too debate euthanasia, propose laws which seek to protect that which is sacred to us; life itself, dignity, control, faith, religion, pulling the favours towards and against its use. ; N/A

Der freiwillige Verzicht auf Nahrung und Flüssigkeit - Sterbefasten genannt - ist eine natürliche Form des Sterbens. Der Tod tritt selbstbestimmt aufgrund von Unterlassen, nicht durch eine aktive Handlung ein. Christiane zur Nieden beschreibt authentisch, wie sie ihre Mutter beim Sterbefasten begleitete und welche widersprüchlichen Gedanken und Gefühle auch sie selbst durchlebte. Sie stellt wichtige Aspekte des Prozesses vor, etwa die richtige Pflege, gelungene Kommunikation, rechtliche Voraussetzungen und die kontroverse Debatte um das Thema. Das Buch macht Betroffenen und Angehörigen Mut und zeigt, dass ein selbstbestimmtes, würdevolles Sterben bei gut angeleiteter Begleitung auch zu Hause möglich ist. Christiane zur Nieden, geb. 1953, Studium der Romanistik und Geschichte in Münster, 25-jährige Mitarbeit in einer Praxis für Allgemeinmedizin und ehrenamtliche Tätigkeit als Sterbe- und Trauerbegleiterin. Heilpraktikerin für Psychotherapie, Beraterin für Kommunikation am Lebensende, Patientenverfügung und Vorsorgevollmacht. Sie ist verheiratet mit einem Arzt für Allgemein- und Palliativmedizin und Mutter einer Tochter.
