AnnotationPalliative care in recent years has been moving into the mainstream of healthcare, rather than being either the particular preserve of the voluntary sector or a sub-set of cancer services. This paper is the result of deliberations by the. National Council for Palliative Care's multi-agency, multi-professional Cancer Policy Group on the question, 'Is cancer unique?' The aim is to give a general rather than specific overview to general discussion and debate, and to consider the characteristics of cancer that have led to the development of modern palliative care.
