The Danish Multidisciplinary Cancer Groups (DMCGs) are working to ensure the best possible investigation, diagnostics and treatment of every type of cancer. The palliative DMCG/database works with developing and supervising the palliative care among the very sickest.

The purpose of this project is to establish a national collaboration between the palliative database/DMCG and the disease-specific DMCGs to ensure the best early palliative care in Denmark.
