palliative oncology-Palliative care is a method to treat patients (include adults and children) and their families who are coping with the consequences of a life-threatening illness.
Palliative cancer care offers a holistic approach, addressing physical, psychological,social and spiritual needs of the patient, their carers and family. Focus of care is on patient and family rather than the disease. Palliative care should begin when the cancer is diagnosed. It continues throughout treatment and beyond. All patients have a right to comfort and quality of life throughout their care.
