This comprehensive text provides clinicians with practical and evidence-based        guidelines to achieve effective, patient-centered communication in the areas of        cancer and palliative care. Written by an outstanding panel of international        experts, it integrates empirical findings with clinical wisdom, draws on historical        approaches and presents a state-of-the-art curriculum for applied communication        skills training for the specialist oncologist, surgeon, nurse and        othermulti-disciplinary team members involved in cancer care today.In this book        communication is broken down into key modules that cover the life-cycle of cancer        care. They include coverage of diagnosis and treatment including clinical trials,        empathic support in response to distress, transition to survivorship or palliative        therapies, discussion of prognosis, conduct of family meetings, and care of the        dying. Complementary training of patients in their communication with the doctor        completes the interactive dyad. The art of teaching, impact of gender andpower in        the consultation and the ethical context are carefully considered.Special        communication challenges include discussion of genetic risk, rehabilitative and        salvage surgery, promotion of treatment adherence, unanticipated adverse outcomes,        intercultural issues, fertility and sexuality. The value of decision aides, question        prompt lists, audio-recording of consultations and use of the internet is        illustrated.By looking across the full spectrum of disciplines involved in the        multidisciplinary team, discipline-specific issues are considered by experts in each        field. In this manner, the needs of patients and their relatives are evaluated,        including paediatric and geriatric populations. To achieve all of this, theoretical        models are examined from the medical school to the highly specialized practice,        facilitation training and actor training are made explicit, and international        approaches tocommunication skills training are compared and contrasted. Finally,        research tools that assist in coding cancer consultations, evaluating training        courses, and employing mixed methods in studies aid the reader in providing clear        and sensitive communication when handling challenging situations whilst        treatingcancer sufferers and palliative care patients.
