Colleague Conversations: Palliative Care in Oncology

Colleague Conversations offers insights into hematology/ oncology from two different perspectives: a seasoned hematologist/oncologist and an early-career clinician. In this installment, Oncology Times sat down with Christopher A. Jones, MD, MBA, HMDC, FAAHPM, and David Jonathan Casarett, MD, MA, FAAHPM, to discuss the relatively new field of palliative care. The discussion leads us through how the field has transformed oncology care, how palliative care physicians can address issues like racial disparities, and how telehealth is the wave of the future.
