Palliative & Supportive Care in Oncology Symposium

A team approach to palliative care can, and should, include everyone in an oncology setting: physicians, palliative care specialists, nurses, hospice professionals, social workers, and others. The Palliative and Supportive Care in Oncology Symposium will provide information that is vital to the entire cancer care continuum, from research regarding biologic mechanisms of symptoms to caring for patients’ psychosocial and spiritual needs during cancer treatment and at end of life. Abstracts will be discussed in the General Sessions, as well as in dedicated Oral Abstract Sessions and two all-day poster sessions, showcasing the latest scientific research in palliative and supportive care and its impact on patients with cancer.
