ABSTRACT
The main objective of palliative care is to improve the quality of life for both patients with life-threatening illness and their families (1). Patients with advanced cancer may experience physical, psychosocial, and spiritual difficulties throughout their illness, which will have an impact on their overall quality of life. Palliative care is also applicable in conjunction with other therapies, such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy, early in the course of an illness and continues beyond the death of a patient, with bereavement support provided to families.
