Abstract
The role of chemotherapy for patients with advanced cancer is likely to expand, as new cytotoxic drugs and routes of administration are developed, and adverse effects are better controlled. The move towards integration of acute and palliative cancer care services should facilitate the use of chemotherapy to alleviate symptoms of advanced cancer, where appropriate and acceptable for individual patients. As the boundaries traditionally perceived between phases of cancer care become blurred, new challenges will arise for oncology and palliative care nurses.
