Palliative care is a complex area of medicine that requires high professionalism from doctors and serious equipment from the clinic. There are very few medical institutions in our country that provide palliative care, both public and private, and even fewer that do it well. Nevertheless, the importance of this area is very great. Unfortunately, not all cancer patients in Russia receive the care they need. Patients with early stages of cancer are usually successfully treated under the compulsory medical insurance, and for those who can no longer be helped, there are hospices. However, most patients do not fall into either the first or second category, and are left without due attention. Giving such patients a chance is the main goal of palliative medicine. With its help, it is possible to relieve patients of the symptoms and complications of the disease and often even return them to a curable state, making radical antitumor treatment possible. Thus, palliative care can not only relieve patients from suffering, but also prolong life. The Medvestnik.ru portal website published a large and very interesting interview with the chief physician of the Moscow clinic Euroonco Andrey Lvovich Pylyov. The oncologist answered the main questions about palliative care: why it is important to develop palliative medicine, what is the situation with palliative care at the state level and how to get it.
