Speaking of Cancer discusses how to have better and more effective conversations with cancer patients. Learning how to talk to patients is one of the hardest tasks that all doctors must master. Good communication with cancer patients is crucial to good care, to developing comforting and supportive relationships with patients, and is the means by which oncologists become the most important navigators for patients as they make their way through the complex journey of the cancer experience. Good communication can also be a source of profound professional satisfaction and sustenance. This book serves as a guide for any clinician caring for cancer patients as they develop and refine their communication skills.
