Research: End of Life Decisions

Researchers at CRB are currently looking at the intersection of curative and palliative treatment in paediatric oncology, a PhD project funded by the Swedish Childhood Cancer Foundation. We are also starting research on developing clearer definitions and clinical guidelines for Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) orders in oncology care. This research is funded by the Swedish Cancer Society.

CRB also collaborates with ECEC, CBmE and PEALS on issues relating to end of life care and decisions. Read more about this and other international research collaborations here.

In June 2009, CRB hosted an international research symposium on end of life decisions. Read the report here.
