On May 15, the Palliative Care for Patients with Cancer: ASCO-SIO Guideline Update was published. Evidence-based recommendations address the integration of palliative care in oncology. Oncology clinicians should refer patients with advanced solid tumors and hematologic malignancies to specialized interdisciplinary palliative care teams that provide outpatient and inpatient care beginning early in the course of the disease, alongside active treatment of their cancer. A companion JCO OP Clinical Insights article, recommendations table, slides, patient summary, and podcast are available.
