A Guide to Emotional and
Psychological Consequences
of Cancer, Their Causes and Their
Management

The idea for this book of essays arose after several years during which the co-editors collaborated at the University of Pittsburgh on the medical oncology and psychological care of patients diagnosed with hepato-biliary cancer. Although the need for patient psychosocial support was evident, the time available in an ever-busy clinic was not conducive to the extended discussions that many patients and families wanted.
