[Comment] Re-establishing human-centred care

In 2021, the Global Institute of Psychosocial, Palliative, and End-of-Life Care (University of Toronto, Canada) in collaboration with the Institute of Cancer Policy (King's College London, UK) launched a project called Biomedicine and the Soul of Medicine: Optimising the Balance. As part of this project, a multidisciplinary symposium held over 3 days on Palliative Care, Culture, and the Clinic brought together more than 600 registrants from over 60 countries to explore humanistic and culturally relevant dimensions of cancer care, particularly for patients with advanced disease.
