Cancer care is a broad term covering all support related to living with cancer, from diagnosis through treatment and beyond, including times when cure is possible. Palliative care is more specific: it focuses on managing symptoms, pain and quality of life when a condition is unlikely to be cured, and may be appropriate at any stage of advanced illness. Some people receiving cancer treatment also receive palliative input. Home carers can work alongside palliative teams to provide day-to-day comfort, practical help and emotional support.
