The aim of this exploratory study was to better understand oncologists' experiences and their perceptions of hospice care as an end-of-life treatment choice for terminally ill cancer patients. To describe this experience, semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted using phenomenological methods with nine oncologists. Four themes emerged from the data analysis: (a) feelings of discomfort and relief, (b) being different from others, (c) experience with nonhospice patients, and (d) factors influencing the decision to recommend hospice.

Clearly organized and annotated, The Care of Terminally Ill Patients is a valuable handbook and ready resource for physicians and other health care professionals faced with the complexities of caring for dying patients. A significant portion of the book is devoted to the care of patients with advanced cancer, but the theories and techniques apply to nonmalignant diseases such as dementia, motor neuron diseases, and AIDS as well. The author pays special attention to issues related to controlling pain-by far the most common symptom of terminal illness-including the use of drugs, routes of administering drugs, pharmacologic complications, and surgery.

Some terminally ill patients stop all debilitating treatments to reduce unwanted side effects. A study of 3850 liver cancer patients found that patients who received hospice care, and those who did not, survived for the same amount of time. Others continue aggressive treatment in the hope of an unexpected success. Still, others reject conventional medical treatment and pursue unproven treatments such as radical dietary modifications  . In fact, a study of 3399 adult lung cancer patients showed that patients who received hospice care actually survived longer than those who did not.

Terminally ill cancer patients commonly exhibit severe physical and psychological symptoms and adequate symptom control is the core of palliative care. Despite ongoing efforts to alleviate symptoms, physicians occasionally fail to relieve patient suffering. Palliative sedation therapy is a potential solution to provide relief from these refractory symptoms. The use of sedation at end of life was defined as the administration of intravenous or oral sedative medication to relieve intolerable symptoms within the last 2 weeks of life.

Special attention is given to pain management, management of symptoms, care of advanced cancer patients, and care of patients with nonmalignant diseases. More than 100 new references, a new list of abbreviations, and tables with new drugs and dosages provides valuable information.
