Palliative Care at Curo Oncology

Palliative care is a specialised approach designed to support patients facing serious or life-threatening illnesses, including cancer. It focuses on relieving pain, managing symptoms, and addressing the emotional, physical, and mental challenges of the disease—enhancing quality of life for both patients and their families.

BEYOND END-OF-LIFE-CARE

What is Palliative Care?

Palliative care provides holistic support at any stage of an illness and can be integrated alongside curative treatments. While it plays a vital role in end-of-life care, it is not limited to this stage. Many patients receive palliative care early in their treatment journey to improve comfort and well-being.

Our dedicated multi-disciplinary team ensures that patients receive comprehensive, compassionate care in various settings, including:

At Home

Enabling care in a familiar and comfortable environment.

In Hospitals

Providing symptom management and medical support.

At Hospice Facilities

Offering specialised care for advanced stages of illness.

ENHANCING QUALITY OF LIFE

Palliative Care in Oncology

In cancer care, palliative treatment is particularly important for patients with advanced or end-stage cancer, where recovery or cure is no longer expected. The focus shifts from curative treatment to symptom management, comfort, and maintaining dignity.

Depending on individual needs, palliative care may include:

  • Pain management
  • Symptom control (e.g. diarrhoea, wound care)
  • Managing treatment-related side effects (e.g. nausea, vomiting, anaemia)
  • Access to supportive care (e.g. home oxygen, assistive devices)
  • Referral to hospice services
  • Hospital admission when necessary
  • Psychological support and guidance
