New CAPC Audio Conference
Title: Top Strategies for Early Integration of Palliative Care in Children with Cancer
Date: Tuesday, July 31, 2012
Time: 1:30 - 2:30 PM Eastern
Recent research has demonstrated clear advantages for early integration of palliative care into the ongoing care and treatment of patients with cancer. The American Society of Clinical Oncology issued a Provisional Clinical Opinion that states “standard oncology care and palliative care should be considered early in the course of illness for any patient with metastatic (high risk) cancer and/or high symptom burden.” While most of the data has come from adult studies, early integration of palliative care principles among children with cancer is quickly becoming an expected standard.
