2021 Pediatric Grand Rounds | Palliative Care in Pediatric Oncology
Oncology care is multidisciplinary, encompassing body and mind, however, a gap in practice exists as the therapeutic modalities are distinct and oncology providers do not necessarily receive specialized training in palliative medicine.
