摘要：
Despite many valuable technical innovations for the relief of suffering in advanced disease over the past few years, only recently have surgical oncologists attempted to more clearly define palliation. Previous definitions have been misleading, creating confusion about the merits of surgery in many situations and difficulty in posing questions for future prospective clinical trials. This report outlines recent progress in identifying and refining a philosophy of palliative surgery that would align it with the consensus of nonsurgical opinion summarized by the 1990 World Health Organization definition of palliative care and the emerging consensus among the medical specialties in the United States concerning principles of care at the end of life. Selected controversies and recent innovations, as well as guidelines for palliative surgery, are discussed.
