| 21 | Palliative Care for the Patient with Incurable Cancer or Advanced Disease Part 2: Pain and Symptom Management This guideline presents strategies for the assessment and management of cancer pain, and symptoms associated with advanced disease, in patients ≥ 19 years of age. Part 2 is divided into seven sections, providing recommendations for evidence-based symptom management with algorithms to facilitate quick access to the information required. Hyperlinked notes in the algorithm refer back to more detailed information within each symptom section. |
| 22 | Palliative Care for Women With Cervical Cancer: A Field Manual The manual focuses on recommendations for providing supportive care for women with cervical cancer, but these techniques can be applied when caring for any person with chronic pain nearing the end of life, no matter what illness or disease he or she has. |
| 23 | Palliative Care for Women With Cervical Cancer: A KENYA FIELD MANUA This field manual was developed for use in Kenya but may be reproduced or adapted to meet local needs. Women in Kenya, like in many other countries, suffer from very high rates of cervical cancer due to the lack of an adequate screening program to detect and treat precancerous lesions of the cervix. |
| 24 | Radiotherapy in Palliative Cancer Care: Development and Implementation Palliative radiotherapy should be integrated into a broader palliative care system. Radiotherapy should be considered in patients receiving symptomatic treatment for advanced/metastatic cancer. Symptoms related to cancer and its treatment should be controlled through the continuum of the disease course. Analgesics, including opioids should be available to optimize pain relief during and after palliative radiotherapy. |
| 25 | Transitions in Care for Patients with Brain Tumors: Palliative and Hospice Care The goal of this handbook is to provide an overview of what a patient and his/her family and caregivers may expect when facing a progressive, life-threatening brain tumor. This handbook is specifically focused on providing effective care at home and at the end of life. |

| 27 | Understanding Palliative Care - A guide for people with cancer, their families and friends This booklet has been prepared to help you understand more about palliative care (sometimes called supportive care).

| 28 | When Someone You Love Has Advanced Cancer This booklet is for you if your loved one has been told that he or she has advanced cancer that is no longer responding to treatment. It explores many of the questions and crossroads you may be facing now. |
