    Background:

    • Patients with palliative diseases experience multiple, challenging symptoms impacting quality of life.
    • Managing these symptoms is complex due to comorbidities and medication side effects.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review common symptoms in palliative care, excluding pain.
    • To provide evidence-based treatment recommendations for these symptoms.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of current evidence for symptom management in palliative care.
    • Focus on symptoms including mucositis, dyspnea, nausea, constipation, anxiety, depression, fatigue, delirium, sleep disorders, pruritus, pleural effusion, and ascites.

    Main Results:

    • Identified key symptoms requiring management in palliative care patients.
    • Summarized treatment strategies based on existing literature, emphasizing individualized care.
    • Highlighted the need for off-label medication use and supportive care.

    Conclusions:

    • Individualized treatment is crucial for optimizing quality of life in palliative care.
