The Department of Palliative Medicine treats hospice patients and actively controls physical symptoms and pain that make terminal cancer patients difficult.

Palliative care specialists (doctors, nurses, social workers, priests, volunteers, etc.) team up to provide medical services that improve the quality of life by alleviating the suffering of patients and their families. Patients in charge of the Department of Palliative Medicine are end-stage cancer patients (with no possibility of fundamental recovery despite active treatment, and are medically diagnosed as gradually deteriorating and likely to die within a few months). In addition, it is aimed at patients who are no longer helpful in the patient’s course of active chemotherapy, who need pain relief and symptom management, who are conscious, who can communicate, and who understand their disease state.
