Abstract
Pediatric surgeons engaged in oncology will inevitably treat patients receiving palliative care, but their role in this context is poorly described. This article identifies some of the challenges and opportunities of surgical involvement in pediatric oncology palliative care, underscoring how the surgeon's expertise can be exploited to significantly benefit children with cancer. Specific examples of skills (procedural, communication, and coordination) that surgeons can provide to the multidisciplinary palliative care teams are described and the importance of collaboration is highlighted.
