With her qualitative study, Sara Marquard has investigated in a differentiated and empirically robust way how women with advanced breast cancer experience their physical impairments in the last phase of life. The central phenomenon of being marked in the action and interaction model is evident in all women marked by changes in an altered appearance, noticeable changes as well as an increasing physical decline. This volume focuses on problems and scope for shaping the experience of the body experience in the last phase of life of a cancer illness and is dedicated to the need for reflective competence of nurses working in oncological and palliative care as well as innovative and self-critical clinical nursing science and research in the context of palliative care.
