Dilemmas and Decision Making in Cancer Care

A Practice-Based Approach

About this book

This book presents realistic cancer-related clinical dilemmas and provides guidance on how to assess options and make ethical decisions.

The provided case studies explore how decisions are made in ethically and sometimes morally challenging situations in practice. Approaches to care delivery focus on the perspective of the individual in terms of their practical, social, psychological, and emotional needs. Considerations are integrated with a range of solutions-focused perspectives to allow readers to discuss clinical dilemmas in a safe space while applying and expanding their professional knowledge.

This book provides an invaluable resource for any healthcare student, clinical supervisor, academic educator, and anybody working within the cancer setting.
