Abstract
Modern medicine has made great strides in developing chemotherapeutic and radiologic measures to arrest or retard the malignant disease process. The patient, however, is often rendered acutely uncomfortable by the side-effects of the treatment. Hypnotherapy offers the means to support the patient in a radical regime by alleviating discomfort, as well as by offering a unique interpersonal environment within which to deal with the issues posed by terminal or potentially terminal illness.Keywords
