Journal of Terminal Oncology Home Page

Taking a bold and important step forward, this is the only peer-reviewed journal in the field with the courage to recognize that in spite of all the advances in oncology, there is still the line beyond which comfort not cure is the appropriate course of action.

Journal of Terminal Oncology tackles ethical, symptom management and quality of life issues head-on. It is the premier sounding board for physicians, medical directors, ethicists, and nurses whose goal is to optimize treatment for the terminal patient.

The focus of Journal of Terminal Oncology is exclusive to the portion of the patient population for which the transition from further aggressive medical intervention to palliation and hospice is called for. It provides those who play a key role in ensuring compassionate, ethical treatment of the dying patient in depth coverage across the spectrum of terminal care from the medical and pharmaceutical to the ethical and social.
