Cancer and Cancer Care is a complete study of cancer, the care of people with the disease and its impact on everyday life.

Chapters include:
- A review of the latest theory and evidence on over 30 separate topic areas
- Reflective questions which challenge readers to reappraise what they have learned
- Chapter overviews and chapter summaries which highlight the key points
The book is essential reading for all those on cancer care courses at undergraduate and postgraduate level. It will be valuable reading for nurses, oncologists, psychologists, social workers and all healthcare practitioners and researchers working with people affected by cancer.
