Difficult moral concerns and choices are a characteristic of palliative cancer medicine. Problems in patient information, palliative chemotherapy, treatment with unconventional remedies and clinical drug development are given as examples.

It is argued that next to the acquisition of bioethical competence by 'doing' staff, members working in scientific and medical frontiers should specifically be trained to identify, analyse and resolve ethical dilemmas.
