While Hospice and Palliative Care are often viewed as the same thing, they can be very different depending on the patient and their needs.
Palliative care is focused on improving the quality of life for people living with a serious illness like cancer. People with cancer may receive palliative care at any time from the point of diagnosis, throughout treatment, and beyond. Palliative care helps patients and caregivers manage the symptoms of cancer and side effects of cancer treatment. Learn more about palliative care and information about dealing with the side effects of cancer and cancer treatment at https://www.cancer.org/treatment/treatments-and-side-effects/palliative-care.html.
Hospice care provides compassionate care for people in the
last phases of incurable disease so that they may live as fully and
comfortably as possible. Learn about end of life care including hospice care at
