Abstract
The burden of nonpain symptoms such as anorexia, constipation, nausea, and vomiting contribute to patient suffering throughout the course of advanced illness. It is important to address symptom control throughout the disease trajectory, and especially at the end of life. Primary care clinicians must recognize these symptoms early, provide ongoing assessment, and keep abreast of evidence-based management strategies, including valid clinical protocols.
