This new branch of science looks not at cancer itself, but at the patient's experience of it, so though a few contributors are oncologists, most are from other medical or non-medical specialties, such as psychology, pain medicine and anesthesiology, immunology, hematopathology, and imaging physics. After introductory material, they discuss the clinical and basic science of cancer symptom mechanisms and models, clinical perspectives in symptom management and research, symptom measurements, and government and industry perspectives. Among the topics are cytokines and sickness behavior as a model for cancer symptoms, the physiology of neuropathic pain, practical aspects of symptom management in patients with cancer, longitudinal models for symptoms, and issues for drug and therapeutic biological product claims in the US.
