Palliative Oncology
Palliative care focuses on preventing, managing, and relieving the symptoms of cancer and the side effects of cancer treatment. It also provides comprehensive support to people living with cancer and their family, friends, and caregivers. Anyone, regardless of age or type and stage of cancer may receive palliative care before, after, and during treatment. Talking about palliative care soon after a cancer diagnosis helps patients better understand their prognosis and goals of treatment, clarify their expectations, and maintain their quality of life.
