3. Treatment of Advanced Stomach Cancer
4. Eating and Nutrition
5. Pain Control
6. Supportive and Palliative Care

The development of the pack was supported by an educational grant from Roche Products Ltd.

The pack is free for paid-up RCF members; for non-members the cost is £1 to cover postage and packing.
