Palliative care is specialized medical care focused on providing relief from the symptoms, pain, and stress of serious illness like cancer — improving quality of life for both patient and family.
Anytime during cancer treatment — from diagnosis to advanced stages — especially when experiencing uncontrolled pain, side effects, or emotional distress.
Pain and symptom management, emotional counseling, family support, nutritional guidance, spiritual care, and end-of-life planning.
