Palliative care is a specialized form of medical care that focuses on providing relief from the symptoms, pain, and stress associated with serious illnesses such as cancer. It is an integral part of cancer treatment, aimed at improving the overall well-being of patients and their families. Palliative care addresses not only physical symptoms but also emotional, social, and spiritual aspects, ensuring holistic support during this difficult time.
