THE GOALS OF PALLIATIVE CARE


For patients with active, progressive, far-advanced disease, the goals of palliative care are
    → to provide relief from pain and other physical symptoms
    → to maximize the quality of life
    → to provide psychosocial and spiritual care
    → to support the family during the patient’s illness and bereavement
