ASCO Recommends Palliative Care as Part of Cancer Treatment

ASCO recommends that doctors, patients, and caregivers talk about palliative care soon after diagnosis for any patient with metastatic cancer and for patients with many and/or severe symptoms. ASCO has developed a resource to help patients understand the importance of palliative care from diagnosis through treatment and beyond. Order ASCO Answers Palliative Care booklets for your practice at www.cancer.net/estore, and help your patients better understand the goals of treatment and maintain their quality of life.
