Palliative care, which takes a holistic approach to care, isn't just for patients in the final stages of their lives.
Palliative care specialist Tom Smith, a medical oncologist at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center in Baltimore and a Cancer Today Editorial Advisory Board member, discusses how palliative care complements treatment, and why it's important to talk about end-of-life care well before you need these services. This video is a companion piece to an article, "Making Decisions About End-of-Life Care," which was published in the Fall 2016 issue of Cancer Today. | Video produced by Patient Power LLC.
