This book addresses a variety of ethical issues that arise in the care of oncology patients. The issues raised have direct relevance to the care of oncology patients in treatment as well as research settings.
Many volumes have been written on medical ethics in the past 30 years. However, few have focused on ethical issues specific to the care of cancer patients. This book brings together such a focused examination. The contributors include clinicians, ethicists, medical humanists and medical educators. The issues raised have direct relevance to the care of oncology patients in treatment as well as research settings. The chapters address issues that are central to contemporary medical practice and medical ethics inquiry. This work should have importance for practising physicians, nurses and others caring for cancer patients. In addition, medical students, medical educators and ethicists should find this book of interest.
