American Society of Clinical Oncology guideline update on palliative care for patients with cancer: Addressing the reality gap Commentary on Cancer by ACS The American Society of Clinical Oncology's recommendations for integrating palliative care into oncology are commendable but face significant practical challenges, including workforce shortages, limited resources, and insufficient financial support for necessary research. While these guidelines provide an aspirational framework, their full implementation may be unattainable for many programs. Practical strategies for adopting these recommendations at cancer centers are proposed, emphasizing the need for financial and quality incentives to drive the broader integration of palliative care into the healthcare system.
