N2 - Radiotherapy (RT) plays a critical role in the palliation of symptoms in patients with advanced or metastatic cancer. To address the growing need for these services, multiple dedicated palliative RT programs have been established. This article serves to highlight the novel ways in which palliative RT delivery systems support patients with advanced cancer. Through early integration of multidisciplinary palliative supportive services, rapid access programs facilitate best practices for oncologic patients at the end of life.
