Abstract
Palliative medicine focuses on relieving burdening symptoms to improve quality of life. The most common symptoms are physical weakness, pain, loss of appetite, nausea as well as dyspnea, itching and depression. Frequently, good symptom control can be achieved using the most effective drug combination therapy or non-medicinal interventions. This article specifically addresses the physical symptoms dyspnea, itching and the psychological symptom depression.Entities:
