Abstract:
Palliative care refers to the prevention and relief of physical and mental suffering through early recognition,active assessment,and management of pain and other painful symptoms to improve quality of life for both the patients with severe diseases and their families.A successful case of palliative care requires not only the establishment of correct concepts but also the team work and the improvement of the medical system.This paper introduced the end-of-life care experience for a patient with advanced lung cancer,showing the gains and deficiencies in the practice of palliative care.
