Clinical Pain Management: Cancer Pain

Clinical Pain Management is a major new clinical reference work. Comprised of four volumes - Acute Pain, Chronic Pain, Cancer Pain and Practical Applications and Procedures - it is a comprehensive textbook for trainee and practising specialists in pain management and related areas, presenting these individuals with all they need to know to provide a successful pain management service.The set includes three clinical volumes that deal respectively with all aspects of acute, chronic and cancer pain - from the basic mechanisms underlying the development of pain, to the various treatments that can be applied in different clinical situations. A fourth volume, Practical Applications and Procedures, complements these three by providing helpful advice on practical aspects of clinical management and research, including protocols and established clinical guidelines: in effect, a 'ready-reference manual' for the busy clinician.
