A Theory of Cancer Care in Healthcare Settings : Routledge : 9780367341510 : 0367341514 : 31 Mar 2021 : This book provides healthcare professionals with a practice theory for the care and management of patients who have been diagnosed with cancer.

Unique to the book is its explication of the emerging theory, ?The Omnipresence of Cancer', which is set in the context of a discussion of earlier theories also concerned with cancer care.

In particular, a chapter on philosophical reflections using theory to produce knowledge for practice is included. Each chapter provides essential background, a synthesis of the current state of knowledge, and practice examples associated wit
