Abstract
Palliative care is an integral part of cancer patient care. There is often a confusion between palliative care, hospice care, and end of life care. Palliative care accounts for more than half of the total period of care provided to a cancer patient, therefore in their current practice oncologists need tools to assess patients’ symptoms and the effectiveness of symptomatic treatment.
