Palliative care can be provided at any stage of a serious illness alongside curative treatment, while hospice care focuses on comfort rather than cure and is typically for people with a life expectancy of six months or less if the illness runs its usual course.
Does choosing hospice mean giving up treatment?
No. Hospice means shifting the focus of care to comfort, symptom relief, and quality of life rather than curing the underlying illness; patients can still receive medical attention for pain and symptoms.
