Welcome to another enlightening episode of Cancer Conversations on Talking FACS where Dr. Nichols breaks down the multifaceted nature of palliative care, explaining its role as both an approach and a medical sub-specialty aimed at enhancing the quality of life for individuals with serious illnesses, particularly cancer. She outlines the comprehensive, team-based approach required for effective palliative care, emphasizing the collaboration among various healthcare professionals including pharmacists, nurses, social workers, and chaplains.
The conversation also delves into the differences between palliative care and hospice care, the types of support patients and their caregivers can expect, and the importance of mental and spiritual health in the treatment process.
