Article Abstract

The National Cancer Institute designated models of comprehensive cancer care centres endeavour to enable the delivery of high-quality, holistic cancer care, informed by research evidence across the cancer care trajectory. These comprehensive cancer centers have typically been adult-oncology-focused, leaving an important gap and opportunity to consider what a model of comprehensive cancer care might look like for children and young people. With the advent of the opening of the first comprehensive children's cancer center in Australia and the southern hemisphere, this commentary considers the important role that psychosocial oncology needs to play in driving high-quality, person-centered comprehensive cancer care for all.

Recent Findings: Multiple interventions have demonstrated effectiveness in reducing unnecessary blood and urine culture testing, including clinical decision support tools, education programs, and multidisciplinary approaches.
