Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary malignancy of the liver, and 85% to 90% of cases of HCC occur in patients with underlying liver disease. This makes it a complex illness to treat, because disease burden occurs not only from the cancer, but also potential decompensation of the underlying liver disease. Palliative care is multifaceted care that addresses physical, spiritual, and psychosocial needs of patients and can provide support for their caregivers. It can help in advance care planning and hospice support. Early integration of palliative care can improve patient qualify of life and patient/caregiver satisfaction.
