AB The  goal  of  palliative  care  is  to  relieve  suffering  of  patients  and  families  who  live  with  serious  illness.  It  is  imperative  to  ascertain  goals  of  care  while  concurrently  stabilizing  or  temporizing  the  patient  clinically  and  treating  symptoms.  We  need  to  then  compassionately  communicate  diagnosis,  prognosis,  and  treatment  alternatives  and  guide  the  formulation  of  a  therapeutic  plan.
