Patients should be referred early to hospice services. Regular communication between patient, family, treating general practitioner and hospice improves 'control' and life quality for patients. Pain control is a major problem and specialist care is frequently required. Hospice units can correct non terminal conditions, returning patients to the community in better health.
患者应尽早转介至临终关怀服务机构。患者、家属、主治全科医生和临终关怀机构之间的定期沟通可改善患者的“病情控制”并提高生活质量。疼痛控制是一个主要问题，通常需要专科护理。临终关怀病房可以纠正非终末期病症，使患者以更好的健康状况重返社区。
