Article Synopsis
- Children and young adults with advanced cancer face significant symptom distress, which is often underestimated by patients, parents, and healthcare providers.
- A study involving interviews and surveys highlighted that many involved in the care process have come to "normalize" high levels of symptom suffering, viewing it as an inevitable part of the illness.
- Overcoming this normalization is crucial for improving symptom management and reducing distress in pediatric cancer patients, indicating a need for new strategies in palliative care.
