Abstract: Integrated care in cancer patients has emerged as a topic of debate last years. Two ways of approach were described in the literature: the tumor-directed approach, focusing on treating the disease; and the host-directed approach which focuses on the patient’s quality of life (QOL) and symptoms control. Integrated care model (ICM) involves the integration of specialist palliative care (PC) early in the course of cancer trajectory, assimilating tumour-centred and patient-centered approaches with active patient and family involvement in the decisions about cancer care. in this short communication we describe the ICM as a new model of palliative care delivery.
