Abstract

Cancer patients often die with serious unrelieved symptoms causing a distressing death for them and needless added suffering for their families. Many physicians have not been trained to care for the dying patient. This chapter reviews the common symptoms and describes the methods to control them and support the patient and family through this difficult time. These symptoms are so characteristic of the dying process that all physicians should recognize them, be skilled in providing appropriate care, and prepare for problems that may arise. (C) 2000 by W.B. Saunders Company.
