Abstract

Most patients with advanced malignancy will die of their disease. Care of the dying is therefore a fundamental skill for the oncologist. Although protocols exist in other countries, there is no established protocol in the United States. We present a protocol for management of the dying that is clinically useful and review the existing evidence-base.
