Abstract:
Multiple cancer societies and professional medical organizations recommend integration of palliative care into routine oncology care. A growing body of literature supports the benefits of palliative care in patients with cancer. Palliative care improves pain and other symptoms, enhances quality of life, and reduces depression. The best method and timing for integration of palliative care is unclear. Multiple barriers exist that prevent optimal palliative care integration; these barriers will require additional education and research to overcome.
