Cancer is a severe stroke of fate for those affected and their relatives. Especially in palliative care situations, both the patients themselves and their close relatives are faced with a great challenge. In this situation it is important to meet the needs of the patient with respect to treatment as well as mental, social and spiritual matters. In close cooperation and communication on an equal level between primary treating personnel, locally caring family physicians, relatives and palliative care units, an optimal care for patients in palliative situations during and after hospitalization can be successfully achieved.
