Palliative care is the discipline of attending to quality of life across the full arc of serious illness — not abandoning the patient but shifting the goal from cure to comfort, dignity, and reduced suffering. It integrates pain management, symptom control, psychological support, and honest communication in ways that disease-focused medicine often cannot. The evidence is clear that palliative care not only improves quality of life but frequently extends it — because a body in less distress has more resources to work with.
