Comfort measures: The jaundice won't cause death itself, but will make for discomfort like itchiness. Death in advanced cancer usually comes from infection or vital structure failure. So do your best to treat any infections and treat any symptoms of pain or itchiness. Best to make sure that relationships are in best shape with loved ones. That's the best comfort.
