This chapter discusses other aspects of supportive care that are essential for the care and comfort of children with malignancy. These are the diagnosis and management of mucositis, nausea and vomiting, constipation, the maintenance of adequate nutrition, when and when not to immunize the child, the breaking of bad news, the management of the child in the palliative phase of their illness, and the uses and complications of central venous access devices and haemopoeitic growth factors.
