**Abstract**

Childhood can cer survival rates have lately improved (from 54% in 1980 to an actual 80%), and palliative care has taken on a larger role in the management of oncological kids, with many clinicians involved (including oncologists, radiologists, and surgeons). Palliative surgery has evolved from "noncurative" treatments to a variety of surgeries used to relieve organ dysfunction and provide the best possible quality of life in all aspects of life (clinical, psychological, and social).
