Abstract
Deprescribing is an emerging concept in palliative cancer care that aims to optimize medication use by discontinuing or reducing unnecessary or potentially harmful medications. The goal of deprescribing is to improve the quality of life for patients by minimizing the medication burden, alleviating medication-related side effects, and focusing on patient-centered care. This review article explores the principles and challenges of deprescribing in the context of palliative cancer care, along with the potential benefits and considerations for healthcare providers.
