Essential Yet Neglected Role of Primary Care Physicians in Palliation Team.

Essential Yet Neglected Role of Primary Care Physicians in Palliation Team. J Assoc Physicians India. 2019 Mar;67(3):81-83 Authors: Rustagi N, Pareek P, Verma M, Sharma PK Abstract Quality home-based care for patients with the end-stage disease is increasingly being preferred. Responding to disease associated symptoms and complications may pose an array of challenges in evolving palliative care systems, as no formal institutional mechanism exists to respond to patient and caregiver's wishes. Family and primary care physicians can play an instrumental role in such scenarios by bridging the gaps between cancer specialists and patient and caregivers expectations.
