Oncological diseases have a complex course and require special care for patients. In oncology, situations often occur when the pain becomes unbearable or side effects occur to the therapy. In these cases, cancer patients require emergency care, which can only be provided by experienced doctors. The K+31 Clinic provides emergency oncological care services in Moscow, using both linear and resuscitation teams.
A caregiver provides assistance at home, but her capabilities are limited. She provides only basic care, but in the case of a severe oncological disease, this is not enough.
In a hospice, the patient is under constant medical supervision. Pain relief is selected individually and adjusted depending on the condition. Psychologists help patients and their families cope with anxiety and fear. The institution complies with sanitary standards, professionally carries out the prevention of bedsores, infections, complications.
A team of specialists works in the hospice - doctors, nurses, social workers, which is impossible to provide at home. This approach gives a better chance of maintaining the quality of life and avoiding suffering from a serious illness.

Professional psychologists work with patients in the hospice to help them cope with these experiences. In their work, specialists use conversations, art therapy, and breathing practices.
Relatives also receive assistance. Psychologists teach how to communicate with a loved one during this period, how to cope with loss, prevent emotional burnout, and support in difficult times.

What is hospice and its role in palliative care in oncology
In this medical institution, terminally ill patients receive palliative care, which is aimed at relieving pain, nausea, insomnia and other severe symptoms. Specialists help cope with anxiety, fear, depression, which often accompany cancer.
The hospice also pays much attention to the patient's family. Relatives are taught how to care, helped to adapt to what is happening, and provided with moral support.
The main goal of hospice care is not to prolong the life of cancer patients at any cost, but to improve its quality. This is ensured by a multidisciplinary team: doctors, nurses, psychologists, social workers.
