What is the difference between hospice and palliative care?

Does choosing hospice mean giving up treatment?
Choosing hospice means shifting the focus of care toward comfort, symptom relief, and quality of life rather than treatments aimed at curing the underlying illness; it does not mean no care is given, and patients can still receive care for other conditions.
