title: 'The transition to palliative care is profoundly emotional'.
abstract: In the past 20 years or so, the outlook for children diagnosed with cancer has changed dramatically. New treatments have transformed outcomes and the prognosis is generally positive, particularly for the most common childhood cancer, acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. But that is not true for everyone; some children with cancer will die.
