Dr. Janet Abrahm reshapes the common perception of palliative care, emphasizing that it should not be viewed solely as end-of-life support, but rather as an essential form of supportive care that can significantly improve patient outcomes and quality of life when integrated early. With over 20 years of experience at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Dr. Abrahm is a leading expert in the palliative care needs of cancer patients and the author of the Comprehensive Guide to Supportive and Palliative Care for Patients with Cancer. She has been recognized with the prestigious Walther Cancer Foundation Supportive Oncology Award from the American Society of Clinical Oncology. Tune in to hear valuable insights from Dr. Abrahm about the importance of palliative care in the journey of cancer patients and their families.
