Why is palliative care still so often seen as a last resort and what would it take to change that?

In this episode of TJ Talks, Professors Claudia Gamondi (Head of the Palliative and Supportive Care service at Lausanne University Hospital, and Tumori Journal Section Editor) and Claudia Bausewein (Chair of Palliative Medicine at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich) explore the cultural barriers that delay the integration of palliative care into everyday oncology practice, including the persistent belief that “palliative” means giving up hope.

From rethinking the language we use to strengthening training and collaboration, they discuss practical ways to bring oncology and palliative care closer together with patients’ quality of life, needs and priorities at the heart of care.

Listen to the conversation and discover how we can make early palliative care part of everyday oncology practice.
