What is palliative care and who needs it?

Palliative care is a special approach in medicine aimed not at curing the underlying disease, but at completely eliminating or maximally alleviating distressing symptoms, improving the quality of life of the patient and his or her loved ones. Its goal is to help the patient live as actively and comfortably as possible, despite a serious diagnosis. Palliative care focuses on maintaining the quality of life here and now.

The word "palliative" itself comes from the Latin "pallium" - pallium, and also from the French "palliatif" - palliative, which means a cloak or cover. This reflects the main principle of palliative care: just as a cloak protects from bad weather, palliative care creates protection from the manifestations of the disease, alleviating suffering and improving the quality of life, but does not aim to cure the disease, since this is impossible.

Palliative care is needed by patients with various incurable diseases, when therapy for the underlying pathology is impossible or inappropriate. This applies not only to oncological diseases, but also to severe cardiac, renal, hepatic failure, neurological degenerative diseases, terminal stages of chronic somatic pathologies and other conditions that significantly limit life.

What is palliative care and who needs it?

Basic principles of palliative care

The essence of palliative care is based on key principles:

Relieving the patient's suffering. Relieving pain, shortness of breath, nausea, anxiety and other distressing symptoms is the primary goal of therapy.
Maintaining activity. Palliative care professionals aim to maintain the patient's functionality and involvement in life as much as possible.
Recognition of life and death as natural processes. Well-organized palliative care helps seriously ill patients change their attitude towards death, consider it as one of the inevitable stages and accept it with dignity
Individual approach. The basis of assistance is respect for the patient's personality, values and wishes. Everyone may have their own wishes, for example, to stay at home in their own home or go to a hospice
Multidisciplinary. A team of specialists (doctors, nurses, psychologists, social workers, physiotherapists) work together to solve all the patient's problems
Support for loved ones. It is extremely important to help the family with care, psychological support during a serious illness and during the period of loss

When is palliative care recommended

Palliative care is indicated not only in the terminal stage. It can and should be started at earlier stages of a serious disease, as soon as severe symptoms appear that reduce the quality of life, or when it becomes clear that the disease is incurable and progressive. Early inclusion of palliative care often allows for better control of symptoms, improves psychological state, and can even positively affect the prognosis. In oncology, it can be used in parallel with antitumor therapy (for example, chemotherapy).

Diseases requiring palliative support

Palliative care is recommended for the following pathologies:

Oncological diseases (cancer) in the late stages or when the treatment is ineffective
Terminal stage of chronic heart failure
Severe chronic renal and hepatic failure
Terminal stage of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Progressive neurological diseases: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease in the late stages, dementia
Terminal stage of HIV/AIDS
Genetic diseases with a severe course

Modern methods of palliative care in "K+31"

The specialists of the palliative care department of the K+31 clinic have at their disposal a wide range of methods aimed at alleviating symptoms and improving the patient’s condition.

Molecular genetic testing

This is one of the key diagnostic methods in modern oncology. It allows to identify specific mutations in the tumor for the selection of personalized targeted therapy or immunotherapy, which is especially important for inoperable or metastatic forms of cancer, when standard treatment is ineffective. This gives the doctor the opportunity to achieve control over the disease, reduce the intensity of symptoms and prolong the active life of the patient.

Chemoembolization of tumors

This is a minimally invasive procedure in which high doses of chemotherapy drugs are injected directly into the blood vessels that feed the tumor (for example, in the liver), blocking them. This allows for local action on the tumor, minimizing systemic side effects, reducing the size of the tumor, and relieving pain and other symptoms.

Radiofrequency ablation of metastases (RFA)

Under visual control (CT, ultrasound), an electrode is inserted into the tumor site, generating high-frequency currents that destroy cancer cells by local heating (up to 50-100°C). This method is used to destroy metastases in the liver, lungs, kidneys, and bones. It is relevant for patients for whom surgery is contraindicated.

Implantation of venous infusion port systems

The method involves installing a special port with a catheter into the central vein under the skin. Such an intervention is extremely important for patients who receive intravenous infusions (chemotherapy, painkillers, nutrient solutions) for a long time. It allows avoiding multiple painful vein punctures, reduces the risk of complications (phlebitis, infiltration) and makes the therapy more comfortable. Port replacement is rarely required. The design serves for more than five years.

Installation of stents

When the lumen of hollow organs (esophagus, bile ducts, trachea, bronchi, intestines, ureters) narrows due to pressure from a growing tumor, self-expanding stents are installed - expanders that serve as a frame. This procedure allows you to quickly restore patency, eliminate life-threatening conditions, such as suffocation, return the ability to eat, normalize the outflow of bile or urine.

I would like to express my deep gratitude to the cardiologist Natalia Evgenievna Sharkova!!! I am undergoing targeted therapy in this clinic. The ultrasound of the heart showed that there are changes in my heart. And if there are further deteriorations, then I will have to interrupt the treatment. Natalia Evgenievna received me very attentively. She prescribed treatment that turned out to be very effective. The therapy did not have to be interrupted. The ultrasound showed good results. I recommend this clinic and this doctor to everyone.

While in the therapeutic department of the hospital, from 01.07 to 03.07 2025, I was once again convinced that money does not solve anything, but people like Sharkova Natalya Evgenievna and Kolosvetova Irina Igorevna do. Thanks to these wonderful doctors, nurses, barmaids, who "pulled" me out of a terrible attack! I thank the management of the clinic for the excellently selected staff! Special thanks to Sharkova N.E. for the most prompt decision on my hospitalization. May the entire staff of the hospital be healthy! God bless you!
