**1. Introduction**

Palliative surgical oncology, which is widely developed in adult care, is a new issue in children, whose treatment should include not only the patients but also their relatives.

Palliative care is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as "an approach that improves the quality of life of patients and their families facing the problem of life-threatening illness through the prevention and relief of suffering through early identification and impeccable assessment and treatment of pain and other physical, psychosocial, and spiritual problems" [1]. This statement emphasizes the need of treating oncological children comprehensively.
