Predicting survival and other outcomes is increasingly being recognized as an important skill for palliative care physicians, internists, and other health care professionals who care for patients with advanced cancer at the end of life. There is much prognostic information available that is scattered throughout the palliative care and oncological literature but this is the first time it has been gathered systematically in one place. This book
has 36 chapters divided into three sections. The first is an introductory section that deals with the principles of prognostication, including formulating the prediction and then communicating it.
Topics such as statistical issues, evidence based medicine, and the ethics of prognostication are also covered. The second section addresses prognostication in fifteen specific cancers when they have reached the advanced stage. The third section deals with prognostication in patients with a variety of common clinical conditions at the end of life, such as bowel obstruction, hypercalcemia, and brain metastases.
