Introduction : role of palliative care for the surgical patient

Article indépendant

FAHY, Bridget N.

Palliative care (PC) seeks to improve the quality of life for patients facing serious illness. Several oncology organizations have guidelines about PC, reflecting the need to integrate PC into standard oncology care. Many surgical patients do not receive PC despite the need for these services and established surgical PC competencies. Recent educational and research efforts reveal increased appreciation of the need and benefit of integrating PC services with cancer care in general, and surgical care, specifically.
