Abstract

Improving the management of dying children has always been a common desire among staff who take care of children with incurable life-threatening diseases. Pediatric oncologists are beginning to structure their practice based upon the approach to palliative care given to adults. In the first part of this report, the authors focus on technical care: comfort control and symptoms. The second part is devoted to pain management, a major aspect of pediatric palliative care. In the third part, psychosocial issues are developed, taking into account the point of view of children, siblings, parents and staff.
