From the reviews: "The aim of this book is to discuss and present to the reader - most of all and most importantly to health-care providers - the updated clinical and epidemiological research and results in this field. ... this is an important, impressive, relevant book, that should be read and properly 'digested' by all members of large specialized teams of experts who care for these patients, very often at the end of their life, due to the late discovery of the disease."
