Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

In a recent publication of Pediatric Blood & Cancer, our research team published an article about pediatric patients who are enrolled in Medicaid to receive hospice care concurrently with curative treatment (i.e., concurrent hospice care). Because concurrent hospice care is a relatively new model of care and very little is known about the characteristics of children with cancer who receive it, the purpose of this study was to compare demographic, health, and community characteristics of children who received standard hospice care versus concurrent hospice care.
