About this book
Reviews
From the reviews of the second edition:
"The contributors to this book deal with a variety of ethical issues related to the care of cancer patients in an accessible, nontechnical manner. … The authors’ varied backgrounds make the book, which is intended for physicians, nurses, students, educators and ethicists, accessible to a wide range of readers. ... the inclusion of a cancer survivor as a contributor makes the book of interest to cancer sufferers and other patients who want to understand the perspectives of their caregivers." (Becket Gremmels, Doody’s Review Service, February 2008)
