AB  - Comprehensive  end-of-life  (EOL)  care  is  an  essential  component  of  oncology.  While  we  aim  to  cure  as  many  patients  as  possible,  many  of  them  ultimately  die  of  their  disease.  Our  role  as  clinicians  includes  guiding  patients  and  their  families  through  the  EOL.  Comprehensive  EOL  care  encompasses  pain  and  symptom  management,  psychosocial  and  spiritual  support,  caregiver/family  support,  and  discussions  about  goals  of  care  and  advance  care  planning.  This  requires  skills  in  communication  and  symptom  management,  as  well  as  knowledge  of  the  services  available  in  the  community.  A  multidisciplinary  approach  is  often  helpful  in  providing  comprehensive  EOL  care,  and  the  team  may  include  physicians,  nurses,  social  workers,  chaplains,  palliative  care,  and/or  hospice.
