Palliative Care for Lung Cancer
Palliative care for lung cancer is an important part of a comprehensive treatment plan for those living with the disease. This type of care is not meant to cure the cancer, but it can improve the quality of life of those with the illness. Palliative care is designed to help control pain and other symptoms, as well as provide psychological, social and spiritual support. This type of care helps to address the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of patients and their families. Patients can benefit by receiving early palliative care, as it can help make their experience with the disease more positive and give them the support they need to carry on fighting.
