ABSTRACT
This case is a 56-year-old woman. With multiple bone metastases, she was referred to the Department of Palliative Care on the same day as core needle biopsy had just been performed in the Department of Surgery. Aggressively increased oxycodone was administered to relieve her significantly severe pains by bone metastases. After relief of the pains, cancer chemotherapy of EC and weekly PTX regimens were performed parallel to palliative care. In this case, chemotherapy could be performed after the pains had been sufficiently relieved with closer cooperation between the palliative care doctor and the attending surgeon. It is important for patient-focused medical care to be delivered by both the attending doctor administering cancer treatment and the palliative care doctor working for relief of the symptoms, while they are striving to foster their tie-up.
