“…Palliative care (PC) seeks to improve quality of life of patients, their families and caregivers through the prevention and relief of medical symptoms, while, at the same time, emphasizing their emotional needs and spiritual wellbeing, establishing goals of care, and engaging in the advance care planning (ACP) ( Kluger & Quill, 2021 ; Miyasaki & Robinson, 2020 ). The PC interventions are holistic and “patient-centered,” rather than “disease-centered,” and exerted through a multidisciplinary approach, while actively integrating patients’ values and prioritizing the symptoms according to the patient's preferences ( Quill & Abernethy, 2013 ) ( Chaudhuri et al, 2021 ). Although, historically, PC equaled a hospice tradition (defined as PC for individuals with a 6-month life expectancy), delivered only at the end of life, its role has increasingly been expanding and over the past decade the PC interventions are increasingly being delivered at earlier stages of the disease, alongside disease directed treatments in an outpatient setting ( Kluger et al, 2020 ; Quill & Abernethy, 2013 ).…”
