This textbook will provide both experienced and inexperienced therapists with a resource to expand their knowledge and understanding of working with people with cancer. It provides essential information for treatment planning based on the physiology of cancer and cancer treatments; consideration of the psychosocial effects of cancer; and enhancing therapist self-awareness and building a therapeutic relationship. This text is unusual in that it includes contributions not only from a range of experienced practitioners but also from people with cancer who have received massage during and after cancer treatment.
