Abstract
Abstract
Pain and symptom management is a fundamental goal of palliative care services for patients with cancer. Cancer itself, cancer treatments, and the toxicities associated with certain treatments often lead to significant decrements in function and quality of life. This chapter describes the role of the interdisciplinary palliative care team in tending to the whole person through the lens of a biopsychosocial-spiritual model to assess and manage pain and non-pain-related symptoms. It explores ways oncology and palliative care social workers can integrate their expertise and skills for pain and symptom management in collaboration with other members of the interprofessional care team. It also offers an overview of medical concepts underlying interdisciplinary symptom management and treatment-related toxicities.
