Abstract
Conclusion. - This multidisciplinary approach between Palliative Care and Specialized Medical and Surgical teams enabled relief of the occlusive symptoms for 90% of the patients of the study. The protocol was useful for the caregivers for the management of terminally ill patients. To enhance these results, it would be necessary to shorten the delay of relief, which has been longer than ten days for one third of the patients. The simplification of the protocol including two steps instead of three is on study.
