Palliative Care in Rare Diseases: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Complex and Life-Limiting Conditions (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798249585150)

Palliative Care in Rare Diseases is a comprehensive and clinically grounded resource addressing one of the most under-recognized challenges in modern healthcare: delivering high-quality palliative care to patients living with rare and ultra-rare conditions.
Rare diseases affect millions worldwide, yet patients and families frequently face delayed diagnoses, fragmented care, limited treatment options, and inadequate symptom management. This book bridges the gap between rare disease medicine and palliative care, offering evidence-based strategies, multidisciplinary frameworks, and policy perspectives to improve quality of life across the disease trajectory.
Designed for real-world practice, this volume integrates symptom control, psychosocial support, communication strategies, ethical considerations, home-based care, and health policy development into a structured, practical guide.
