BCOP Clinical Session — Through Cancer Treatment to End-of-Life: Updates in Supportive Care and Medical Aid-in-Dying (MAiD)

Cancer care relies on a foundation of excellent supportive care, all through cancer treatment until end-of-life. This session will provide pertinent updates in Supportive Care for cancer, including cancer pain, cachexia, and cannabis use. The second half of this session will be devoted to end-of-life and Medical Aid-in-Dying (MAiD), which is rapidly expanding in practice in the United States. This session will cover the pharmacologic and pharmacodynamic aspects of MAiD, as well as the legal and operational implications. The audience is expected to take away practical advice for supporting their patients through cancer care, as well as talking points for the future of clinical practice in Supportive Care and end-of-life.
