Top Advances of the Year: Palliative and Supportive Care in Oncology

Palliative and supportive care helps reduce suffering, manage symptoms, and improve quality of life for people living with cancer, yet many patients still face barriers to accessing these services. Recent advances are helping address these challenges, from new evidence on the impact of telehealth and electronic patient-reported outcomes to emerging approaches for cancer cachexia. In this episode of CancerSpeak, Cancer Deputy Editor and Breast Disease Section Editor Dr. Ruth O'Regan speaks with Dr. Carrie Sha, Dr. Andrew Epstein, and Dr. Yael Schenker about the year’s most notable developments in palliative and supportive care in oncology, the challenges that remain, and how these advances may translate into better support for patients with cancer and their caregivers.
