From 18 – 20 October, more than 1,500 cancer experts convened in Geneva to attend the 2022 World Cancer Congress organised by the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC). As chair of the ESMO Designated Centres Working Group, MyPath coordinator Stein Kaasa presented about ESMO’s initiatives to integrate palliative care within oncology, which included the MyPath project. The talk was part of a highlight session titled ‘Integration of Palliative Care into Standard Oncology Care: Is it working?’, in which benefits of this integration as well as barriers to its implementation were explored by an oncology expert panel.
