Expert treatment of pain and other symptoms
Close communication and compassionate care
Help in navigating the health care system
Guidance with difficult treatment choices
Emotional and spiritual support for the patient and family
Home care coordination and referral
Additional support services as needed
Relief from distressing symptoms such as pain, edema, shortness of breath, anxiety and constipation
An improved ability to carry on with daily life
An improved ability to tolerate medical treatments
A better understanding of an illness and choices for medical care
