Pain & Palliative Care

The Pain & Palliative Care Program at Dana-Farber/Brigham Women's Cancer Center helps you live as well as possible while facing a serious or life-threatening illness.

Palliative care focuses on the whole person: body, mind, and spirit. Our team of professionals offers care at any stage of your illness, including at the end of life. We aim to provide comfort and preserve your dignity, help you achieve open communication with your family and caregivers, and offer care that enhances the quality of your life.
