Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on supportive and palliative care, with a strong emphasis on cancer. It examines patient-reported outcomes, quality of life, and symptom management, including breathlessness, fatigue, and dysphagia. The journal also addresses decision-making in cancer treatment, particularly for older adults and those with cognitive impairment, and explores the role of technology like clinical decision support systems and electronic patient-reported outcomes. Palliative care integration with other specialties, such as rheumatology, and its application in various global contexts, including low- and middle-income countries, are also key areas of interest.
