Leading palliative care experts illustrate how you can improve both communication with cancer patients and their quality of life.

For more than twenty years, this guide has been the go-to resource for busy practicing oncology and palliative care clinicians. This fourth edition, now titled Comprehensive Guide to Supportive and Palliative Care for Patients with Cancer, provides physicians, advanced practice clinicians, and patients and their families with detailed information and advice for alleviating the suffering of cancer patients and their loved ones. Drawing on the work of experts who have developed revolutionary approaches to symptom management and palliative care, as well as on lessons learned during her decades as a teacher and clinician, Dr. Janet L. Abrahm and her coauthors illustrate how to help patients and families understand their prognosis, communicate their care preferences, and minimize their distress.

This edition reflects important updates in the field while addressing the informational needs of a broader market of health care providers, including social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists, bereavement counselors, and chaplains. This new edition features three new chaptersSpiritual Care in Palliative Care, Psychological Considerations, and Bereavementas well as specific guidelines about
advance care planning at all phases of cancer
understanding complex family dynamics and communication challenges
partnering with interpreters in the care of patients and family members with limited English-language proficiency
special considerations to take into account for LGBTQ+ patients and their loved ones
caring for patients who have a serious mental illness along with a cancer diagnosis
nonpharmacologic management of pain and other symptoms associated with cancer or its treatment

The book features self-reflective exercises that encourage readers to consider their own biases before having discussions with patients and family members, as well as numerous patient stories that illustrate the techniques and insights clinicians can use to provide holistic, multidimensional care for a diverse cancer patient population.

Acknowledgments

As I sit down to write my acknowledgments for the fourth edition, it is the winter of 2021, in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis. I am fortunate to live and work in Massachusetts, one of the safest states. I continue my palliative care inpatient work at Brigham and Womens Hospital, though I spent from March through June 2020 at home, doing virtual consults. But since July, Ive been back in person, and I am very grateful to be among the first to be vaccinated.

Palliative care could not be more relevant than it has been this year. I am grateful for the work all my colleagues throughout the country and throughout the world have been doing to ameliorate the suffering of those with COVID-19 and their families and loved ones, as well as the staff taking care of these patients. I cannot be prouder of our field than I am at this moment.

As it has changed many things about how we deliver care, COVID-19 has also changed how we conduct family meetings when families are barred from the bedside. Whether on Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Facetime, Doximity, or other platforms, my colleagues and I try to be sure that the voices of patients and their families are heard and that the clinicians messages are really understood. Because we couldnt be everywhere we were needed, my colleagues and I prepared numerous palliative care symptom management and communication guides, which we made into pocket cards and put online; we finalized system-wide palliative and comfort care order sets in our electronic health record (Epic) so that clinicians could provide basic comprehensive comfort-focused care when we were not able to consult on all the patients who needed us.

Some things have stayed constant, and for that Im also very grateful. Mary Cooley, PhD, OCN, CRNP, and I have been working together now for more than 25 years. I have acknowledged and thanked her in each edition of this book. For the first edition, Mary shared with me her office and her insights into grief, bereavement, and the needs of cancer patients and their families; and for a number of years, she has supported me in my clinical and educational efforts in palliative care, and we continue our close collaboration. Mary continues to be a nationally recognized, award-winning nurse-scientist, my great friend and research mentor, and leader of the innovative projects that we hope will bring the materials contained in this book into the day-to-day care of cancer patients throughout the country, especially where there are no trained palliative care clinicians to provide expert symptom management consultations. We translated our evidence-based treatment suggestions into computable algorithms and just received funding, as part of the governments Moonshot programs, to program them so that palliative care recommendations will be available in the electronic health record for clinicians as they sit with their patients. Oncologists who have no access to palliative care specialists will receive personalized treatment recommendations for patients with pain, nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, treatment-related skin problems, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and fatigue at each visit. Mary continues to inspire me and challenge me to be more creative and inventive, while remaining practical.

In the eight years since the third edition was completed, I am grateful that Ive been able to continue to grow in knowledge and understanding of our field. I owe this growth to the extraordinary generosity of my patients and their families, my colleagues in Boston and throughout the world, my trainees, and the staff with whom I work. I am particularly grateful to Jessica Goldhirsch, LCSW, MSW, MPH, for our work together over the past five years, creating courses with our inpatient and outpatient medical interpreter colleagues that consist of dialogues and role plays. These courses address the challenges the interpreters face when asked to interpret conversations in which bad news is delivered, goals of care and resuscitation options discussed, and in which cultural bumps abound. Jessica and I share these insights and the importance of partnering with interpreters in
