Palliative cares become an important element of the management of patients with lung cancer. The objective of this review is to review the literature data's of the impact of palliative cares in oncology, more particularly in thoracic oncology. The analysis concerns the impact of an early access to the palliative cares and the characteristics of these cares in thoracic oncology. The data of the literature are in favour of an early access and structured intervention. Nevertheless, numerous research questions remain, in particular the best moment to implant these palliative cares (at the diagnosis, at the beginning of the chemotherapy…), the assessment of each components of these programs and the economic impact of these initiatives.

Multidisciplinary team meetings are part of the everyday working life of palliative care staff. Based on ethnographic material from community and hospital palliative care teams in England, this article examines these meetings as dynamic routines. Although intended to have a prescribed format to review deaths and collect standardised information to monitor service performance, in practice, the content and conduct of the meetings were fluid, reflecting how this structure did not always match the concerns held by the team.

Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) are implanted in increasing numbers of patients with the aim of treating ventricular arrhythmias in high-risk patients and reducing their risk of dying. Individuals are also living longer with these devices. As a result, a greater number of patients with an ICD will deteriorate either with worsening cardiac failure, another non-cardiac condition or general frailty and will have a limited prognosis.

Many academic pediatric centers care for children with medical complexity (CMC) through established complex care and palliative care programs. There are little prior data investigating best practices for collaboration between these two subspecialties in caring for CMC. The aim of this study is to explore the distinct and overlapping roles and responsibilities of pediatric complex care and palliative care teams as identified by providers when caring for a shared population of CMC and their families.
