[Palliative care guidelines in uro-oncology]. / Leitliniengerechte palliativmedizinische Therapie in der Uroonkologie.

Palliative care is an integral part in the treatment of patients in uro-oncology. The German S3 guideline palliative care for patients with incurable cancer is an essential working basis for physicians and healthcare workers. In addition to basic recommendations in palliative care, the guideline provides evidence-based advice in a symptom-oriented approach. Basic knowledge in palliative care is recommended for every urologist who is treating uro-oncologic patients.
