Over time, the definition has evolved. It can be applied to any stage of illness from acute to chronic and its terminal phase.1 Therefore, the principles of palliative care can and should be applied early on throughout the continuum of patient care, including life-extending and curative treatments. Dr. Balfour Mount coined the term palliative care from the Latin word pallium, which referred to an outer garment that cloaked a person or object. The Latin derivation suggests that palliative care can effectively “cloak” the symptoms of serious illness.
