Palliative care has taken place in the health system in the world over the last 30 years as a care system that includes medical and supportive treatments to alleviate the suffering of persons with difficult or impossible treatment (1). It is not only maintenance done in the last period of life but it is a form of treatment that should be integrated in the treatment for prolonging the life span regardless of the disease stage (2). According to the definition of the World Health Organization, 'the approach aims to early identification, evaluation and treatment of pain and other physical and psychological problems that may occur in people with serious illness, and to increase the quality of life in people with lifethreatening diseases and their families (3). Palliative care can be provided at the ward in the outpatient clinic, outpatient specialized support homes and home care teams at home, with a dedicated inpatient service and / or consultation team. Depending on the symptom load and the nature and complexity of the support, the maintenance is ensured by switching between these spaces (4). General patient services may not be sufficient for symptom management in cancer patients. Therefore, the establishment of inpatient palliative care services will enable effective service delivery. Palliative care units are also important because they are an application that reduces resource use and hospital costs (5). In this study, we aimed to evaluate retrospectively the patients treated and followed-up in our hospital palliative care service.
