Children with cancer, and their families, need symptom relief and support from diagnosis, not only at the end. Every children's cancer unit should have a palliative team, and most in poorer countries have none.
Paediatric palliative care improves symptom control and family outcomes and does not shorten life, yet most childhood cancer units globally lack a dedicated team, and referral is often late. Integrating a small team (nurse, doctor with training, psychosocial support) into every paediatric oncology unit, with early involvement for high-risk diagnoses, is feasible at modest cost and is a stated aim of the WHO Global Initiative for Childhood Cancer.
