Cancer is a common disease; it affects about one in three people, and eventually 27% of men and 24% of women will die of it.' Many different professionals, in hospital and in the community, may be involved in the care of a person with advanced cancer. They include general practitioners; hospital staff such as general physicians, oncologists, surgeons, specialists in palliative medicine and medicine for elderly people, and nurses; community nurses; social workers; physiotherapists; and, in some cases, psychiatrists. This paper deals with the effectiveness, humanity, and equity of care of patients with advanced cancer and considers mechanisms to improve care. Prevention and treatment aimed at curing cancer are not included.
