Quality of life is a priority, for both the person and their family. Evidence supports the efficacy of a palliative care approach in improvement of a cancer patient\u2019s quality of life. Palliative care is provided by a team of physicians, nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists and other health professionals who work together with the primary care physician, specialists and other hospital or hospice staff. Palliative care is appropriate at any age and at any stage in cancer and can be provided as the main goal of care or along with curative treatment. Although it is an important part of end-of-life care, it is not limited to that stage. Palliative care can be provided across multiple settings including in hospitals, at home, as part of community palliative care programs, and in skilled nursing facilities. Interdisciplinary palliative care teams work with people and their families to clarify goals of care and provide symptom management, psycho-social, and spiritual support. Physicians sometimes use the term palliative care in a sense meaning palliative therapies without curative intent, when no cure can be expected (as often happens in late-stage cancers). For example, tumor debulking can continue to reduce pain from mass effect even when it is no longer curative. Medications and treatments are said to have a palliative effect if they relieve symptoms without having a curative effect on the underlying cancer. This can include treating nausea related to chemotherapy or something as simple as morphine to treat the pain from cancer or using Radiotherapy to stop bleeding from cancer.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-8489c51\" data-id=\"8489c51\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d301271 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d301271\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.18.0 - 08-12-2023 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/trustcancercare.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/GettyImages-1139809437-be09601883a64e9ea963086caf52bd0d.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-706\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trustcancercare.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/GettyImages-1139809437-be09601883a64e9ea963086caf52bd0d.jpg 768w, https:\/\/trustcancercare.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/GettyImages-1139809437-be09601883a64e9ea963086caf52bd0d-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Palliative Therapy Palliative care is interdisciplinary specialized medical and nursing care with a focus on providing relief from the symptoms, including pain, and physical and mental stress at any stage of cancer.
