Palliative care is an approach to medical care focused on enhancing the quality of life for individuals coping with a serious, chronic, or progressive illness. Its primary objective is the comprehensive management of symptoms and stress associated with the disease, providing comfort and improving functional status rather than curing the underlying condition. This specialized care is multidisciplinary, encompassing physical, psychological, spiritual, and social support. It can be integrated with curative treatments at any stage of an illness, thereby supporting patients and their families by addressing pain, dyspnea, fatigue, and other distressing symptoms while maintaining the focus on quality of life.
