Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic necessitated the opening of a dedicated inpatient unit for the management of cancer and Covid-19 patients in a cancer center. We report the support by the mobile palliative care team of team resilience in cancer work. The complexity of patient management required the implementation of multidisciplinarity which allowed to face adversity to provide better care in pandemic, then in daily life.

Keywords: Covid-19; cancer; concertation pluridisciplinaire; ethics; multidisciplinary consultation; palliative care; soin palliatif; éthique.
