Review :
This is the fourth edition of a landmark text first published in 1978, edited by dame Cicely Saunders. Comparing it to the slim 250 - page second edition that I purchased in 1984 is a testament to the legacy that Dame Cicely has left us. This is a comprehensive book that includes a vast amount of information, including non-malignant disease as well as cancer. It deserves a place on the library shelf in any palliative care unit.
