Conversations about death and dying are a crucial part of all medical care and are particularly relevant in the field of oncology. Patients express a desire to have discussions about goals of care, and many patients have thought about their end-of-life (EOL) wishes but have not had an opportunity to openly talk with care providers about this. Deficiencies in medical training, lack of confidence, limited time, and cultural barriers all contribute to the paucity of these important discussions. Although physicians are often expected to lead these conversations, nurses and nurse practitioners also play a vital role in the identification of opportunities to address EOL goals and should be a resource for the care team in facilitating EOL conversations at all points on the care continuum. Public engagement is paramount in normalizing conversations about death and dying, and the health care system needs to partner with public health agencies and private groups to open dialogues about EOL. Providers at all levels need improved education in having these difficult but essential conversations.
