palliative
They are the same
Palliative care to reduce suffering and improve quality of life in situations where there is no cure available is certainly appropriate, as would be palliative care in conjunction with curative treatment. Palliative care in lieu of curative treatment when such treatment is available would not be morally right.
"Curative" means "to have an aim of curing". Said of patients who will recover. "Palliative" means "to have an aim of comforting". Patients in paillative care are in extremis, and not expected to recover.

The primary focus of a palliative approach to care is to:improve patients' comfort and functionreduce symptoms and distressaddress psychological, spiritual and social needs.A palliative approach is applicable at any stage of illness, not just the end stage of life . A palliative approach to care is appropriate when a patient has a life-threatening condition, not amenable to cure, with symptoms requiring effective symptom management . Examples include patients with dementia and frail older patients. For these patients, active treatment may still be important and can be provided concurrently with a palliative approach. Implementing a palliative approach should not be based on a clinical stage or diagnosis, but offered according to individual needs.
Finding a cure for a disease such as HIV/Aids
Curative care is directed at healing or curing a disease....like taking an antibiotic for a bladder infection, or Vitamin C if you have scurvy. Palliative care involves offering care that helps relieve the symptoms, but does not cure or treat the cause of a disease...like getting a massage for a stiff neck and sore shoulder which is caused by a ruptured disc in the cervical spine. The massage helps alleviate some of the pain, but does not cure the spinal defect.

Palliative Hospice care is a somewhat redundant way to describe Hospice care. Let's break it down. Palliative care: Care focused primarily on pain and symptom management. It's often prescribed for those with chronic pain or with conditions that cause chronic symptoms that are difficult to manage. It can be performed concurrently with other treatments such as chemotherapy and series of surgeries. Hospice care: Care focused primarily on pain and symptom management. Here is where the difference lies: Hospice is prescribed for those with terminal diagnosis and those who are no longer eligible for or interested in invasive and curative treatments. Therefore, Hospice care is ALWAYS Palliative care, but Palliative care is NOT ALWAYS Hospice care. I hope this answers your question! For more info, see my site!
Palliative care (pronounced pal-lee-uh-tiv) is specialized medical care for people with serious illnesses. It focuses on providing patients with relief from the symptoms and stress of a serious illness. The goal is to improve quality of life for both the patient and the family. Palliative care is provided by a specially-trained team of doctors, nurses and other specialists who work together with a patient's other doctors to provide an extra layer of support. It is appropriate at any age and at any stage in a serious illness and can be provided along with curative treatment.
