In this review, the authors consider the complementary relationship of self-management and palliative care and how they support living with cancer as a chronic illness. Recent studies provide evidence of support among patients, family caregivers and healthcare professionals for integration of self-management interventions into palliative cancer care across the care trajectory, including the phases of curative care, palliative care, end-of-life care and bereavement.
