Palliative Care in cancer focuses on improving the quality of life for patients and their families by providing relief from the symptoms, pain, and emotional stress that cancer can cause. It is not only for end-of-life care—it can be offered at any stage of cancer, alongside treatments like chemotherapy, surgery, or radiation.
At Lions Cancer Detection Center Trust, Surat, our dedicated palliative care team works closely with oncologists to provide comprehensive support tailored to each patient’s needs.
Palliative Care Improves Quality of Life
Palliative care teams focus on quality of life. They treat people suffering from the symptoms and stress of serious illnesses such as cancer, heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), kidney disease, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), and many more.
Relieves Suffering From Symptoms and Stress
The goal of palliative care is to relieve suffering and provide the best possible quality of life for patients and their families. Symptoms may include pain, depression, shortness of breath, fatigue, constipation, nausea, loss of appetite, difficulty sleeping, and anxiety. The team will help you gain the strength to carry on with daily life. In short, palliative care will help improve your quality of life.
