What is the difference between palliative care and hospice care? In this episode of PROSTATE CANCER: REAL TALK, El and Shay are joined by Doctor Abrahm, a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, to help break down two areas of care that are often misunderstood.
Board certified in multiple medical specialties, Doctor Abrahm has authored more than 130 scholarly publications, including the fourth edition of the Comprehensive Guide to Supportive and Palliative Care for Cancer Patients. Her work has focused on improving symptom management and quality of life for cancer patients through better clinical decision support systems and patient-centered care.
In this conversation, Doctor Abrahm explains the goals of palliative care, how it differs from hospice care, and why these services can play an important role throughout a cancer journey. This episode offers practical insight for patients, caregivers, and families looking to better understand supportive care and informed decision-making.
