Palliative Care-------23

Palliative Care at Sagar Hospital & Cancer Care is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for patients with serious or advanced-stage cancers. This specialized service focuses on relieving pain, managing distressing symptoms, and providing comprehensive psychological, emotional, and spiritual support. Integrated alongside active cancer treatment, it ensures comfort and well-being throughout the illness, not just at end-of-life. Our compassionate team—including oncologists, nurses, counselors, and caregivers—delivers individualized care that respects patient preferences and supports families. By prioritizing dignity, comfort, and peace of mind, we offer holistic care that addresses not only the disease but the person as a whole.

Palliative Care focuses on identifying and addressing the physical, emotional, and psychosocial needs of patients with serious or life-limiting illnesses. At Sagar Hospital & Cancer Care, the diagnosis process in Palliative Care is not about detecting disease alone—it is about assessing the full scope of symptoms, suffering, and care requirements to develop an individualized support plan.

Our team conducts a comprehensive evaluation involving medical history, cancer stage, current treatment response, symptom severity, emotional well-being, and caregiver needs. This helps us determine the level of palliative intervention required—whether alongside curative treatment or during advanced stages of illness.

Diagnostic and Assessment Tools Include:

  • Detailed clinical history and physical examination

  • Symptom burden assessment (pain, fatigue, nausea, breathlessness, etc.)

  • Psychological screening for depression, anxiety, and distress

  • Nutritional and functional status evaluation

  • Quality of life and comfort scoring systems

  • Caregiver stress and support needs assessment

  • Multidisciplinary review for holistic care planning

This approach ensures that every aspect of the patient’s condition—beyond the disease—is recognized and addressed with compassion and expertise.

Palliative Care is specialized medical support for people with serious or advanced illnesses. It’s designed to relieve pain, manage symptoms, and improve quality of life—not just at the end of life, but at any stage.

No. Palliative Care is for anyone with a serious illness, regardless of prognosis. It can be given alongside active cancer treatments like chemotherapy or radiation to enhance comfort and coping.

We manage pain, breathlessness, fatigue, nausea, loss of appetite, emotional distress, anxiety, depression, and other physical or psychological symptoms caused by cancer or its treatment.

In many cases, yes. Our team offers guidance for home-based care and works closely with families to create safe, comfortable environments, especially in advanced or end-of-life stages.

Palliative Care can begin at diagnosis and run alongside curative treatment. Hospice care is a type of palliative care focused specifically on comfort in the final stages of life, usually when curative treatment is no longer pursued.
