Psychopharmacology in Oncology and Palliative Care
This practical manual presents the main drugs and protocols currently used in the psychopharmacological treatment of psychiatric disorders in cancer and palliative care settings and explores the principal issues involved in such treatment. Attention is also paid to the emerging theme of adjuvant use of psychotropic drugs for the treatment of symptoms or syndromes not primarily related to psychiatric disorders. Significant clinical challenges encountered in the psychopharmacological management of various psychiatric conditions are discussed, covering aspects such as side-effects and drug-drug interactions.
The book is designed to be easy to read and to reference, with helpful concise tables and boxes. In addition, practical suggestions are provided for dealing with special populations, including children and the elderly. The authors include some of the most renowned clinicians working in the field of psycho-oncology.
