@j-palliativemed.bsky.social Case illustrates individual, interpersonal, and health care and carceral systems-level obstacles that may arise when providing palliative care services to someone currently experiencing incarceration liebertpub.com/doi/10.1177/... Michael A Lourie et al

Rates of chronic and life-limiting illness among incarcerated people are expected to increase, leading to a concurrent rise in the need for palliative care services within this population. In this report, we present a case of a patient with newly diagnosed cancer admitted to the hospital from the carceral system. This case illustrates the individual, interpersonal, and health care and carceral systems-level obstacles that may arise when providing palliative care services to someone currently experiencing incarceration. We take this opportunity to reflect on opportunities in which palliative care clinicians can address the unique needs of incarcerated patients.

Top Ten Tips Palliative Care Clinicians Should Know About Survivorship in Oncology | Journal of Palliative Medicine

@j-palliativemed.bsky.social Top Ten Tips Palliative Care Clinicians Should Know About Survivorship in Oncology
www.liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/...

Survivorship in oncology encompasses all individuals with cancer from diagnosis through the end of life. Like palliative care (PC), survivorship care prioritizes an evidence-based, person-centered approach to ensure quality, efficiency, and dignity. While PC clinicians regularly provide supportive and end-of-life care for people with cancer, additional guidance may be needed to address survivorship needs beyond active treatment. We provide our top ten tips aimed to empower interprofessional PC clinicians in addressing the holistic needs of the cancer survivors throughout the full continuum of care.
