Abstract
Introduction: End of life care can be given in a home setting, dedicated palliative care ward in a hospital or hospice. Nowadays, increasing number of patients request to have euthanasia or Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) in the world. Such care can be provided legally in Canada since 2016.
Conclusion: Different Canadian hospitals developed practical guidelines and procedures by 2017 already. Ramifications of MAID will be discussed in this review.
Keywords: Pattern of care, palliative care, euthanasia, medically assistance in dying, lung cancer, treatment, life support, ethics.

Current progress in Protein Degradation and Cancer Therapy
argeted Protein Degradation is gaining momentum in cancer therapy, it facilitate targeting undruggable proteins, it overcome cancer resistance and avoid undesirable side effects. Thus small molecules degraders have emerged as novel therapeutic strategy. Targeted protein degradation (TPD), the process of eliminating a protein of interest hold a great promise for ...read more
