Abstract
Hope, increased survival time and child quality of life are all more important factors to parents when decision-making at end-of-life compared to HCPs. Conversely, HCPs place greater emphasis on the families' financial considerations than parents. Understanding these differences may aid in communication and improve end-of-life care for children with cancer.
