What Is Palliative & Hospice Care?
Palliative care is a specialized form of medical care that focuses on providing relief from symptoms, pain, and emotional distress for patients at any stage of cancer. It can be provided alongside curative treatment.
Hospice care is a type of palliative care offered to patients who are nearing the end of life, where the goal is no longer cure but comfort, peace, and holistic support during the final stages.
