The relationship between oncology and palliative care is an evolving one. As one debates the processes of palliative radiotherapy, it is important to realize that "palliation" and "palliative care" are not synonymous. We need to explore the definition of palliative care, the myths surrounding palliative care and dying, the need for optimizing pain management and, finally, access to palliative radiotherapy and palliative care.
肿瘤学与姑息治疗之间的关系是不断发展变化的。在探讨姑息性放射治疗的过程时，重要的是要认识到“姑息”和“姑息治疗”并非同义词。我们需要探究姑息治疗的定义、围绕姑息治疗和死亡的误解、优化疼痛管理的必要性，以及最后，获得姑息性放射治疗和姑息治疗的途径。
