Abstract
Background: Palliative care aims to reduce pain and suffering in patients and their families by a thorough assessment and treatment of physical, psychological, and spiritual symptoms. As a patient's death approaches, his or her symptoms may necessitate more aggressive palliation. Support for the dying patient's family should increase as comfort measures become more intense. Palliative care after a patient's death is largely concerned with bereavement and family assistance. Palliative care near the end of life requires assisting patients and their families in understanding the nature of their illness and prognosis. Palliative care professionals can assist patients and their families in determining appropriate medical care and aligning the patient's care goals with the healthcare team's aims. Finally, palliative care at the end of life requires determining the need for a medical proxy, advance directives, and resuscitation status. Physical pain, as well as substantial emotional, spiritual, and social misery, may be present in patients throughout their final hours and days. As death approaches, patients in their final days require careful symptom control, and families may need support and guidance. After the death is announced, the family is notified, and grieving support is provided, the care continues.

Exposure to the epidermis along with the sun can lead to melanoma on the legs, even so, the melanoma will not lead to cancer of the lung and smoking will not lead to melanoma [2]
We can interact with our patients in ways that many other physicians can't because of the durability of our physician-patient relationships and the whole-person attitude that was key in our training.One of the most difficult aspects of end-of-life care is predicting life expectancy[42]
Summary
Cancer is an abnormal growth of cells anywhere in the body. There are 200 kinds of cancer, which could be growing on any sort of tissue in the body [1]. The things which affect the tissues of a person’s body couldn’t affect the other such as, inhaling smoking tobacco can lead to lung cancer. The rate of growth of new cells and the death of old cells are maintained. Researchers who follow these new statistics think that about two-thirds of the increase is because we live longer They think, it is due to changes in cancer levels in different age groups[6]
