Managing patients and families at the ending of life: hospice assumptions, structures, and practice in response to staff stress.

abstract：:Cancer is a proficient evader of the immune system and is responsible for a high number of deaths annually. Most of these cancer cases are associated with genetic mutations, viruses, radiations or other carcinogenic substances like tobacco smoke. However, a significant number of cases arise as a result of infection by...
