Whats palliative care?

Relieve symptoms: Palliative care refers to medical care typically used for patients with terminal illness with a focus on relieving symptoms, pain and stress rather than a focus on curing the underlying medical problem.

Also...: Palliative care can be broadly defined as care that optimizes quality of life regardless of the stage of illness, and can be given simultaneously with disease-modifying care. Not restricted to only patients with terminal illness!
