With the global aging population and lifestyle changes, the incidence of malignant tumors continues to rise, making it one of the major threats to human health. Currently, clinical treatments for malignant tumors mainly include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, among others, which can effectively control the progression of the disease. However, compared to early-stage tumor patients, the possibility of cure for late-stage tumor patients is relatively low. Therefore, palliative care has become a commonly used treatment modality in clinical practice. Palliative care is a comprehensive treatment method aimed at improving the quality of life of late-stage tumor patients. It not only focuses on the patient's pathological condition but also emphasizes the treatment of the patient's emotions and psychology. From the perspective of bioethics, the main focus of palliative care is the dignity of the patient, providing full care and alleviating pain caused by the disease in the ¿ nal stage of life, thereby improving their quality of life. Therefore, this article explores the ethics of palliative care for late-stage tumors.
