Abstract
I have proved through my experience that female anesthesiologists are appropriate for palliative care. Anesthesiologists are expected to play a greater role as the doctor of the palliative care team than as the doctor of palliative care units in the management of cancer pain. Female anesthesiologists in particular are more suitable in the activities of cooperating with other team members, listening to patients and their families, empathizing with them, and paying attention to their daily lives than male anesthesiologists. Palliative care must be an important part of the activities of anesthesiologists, and anesthesiologists should be the principal member of the palliative care team. Palliative care will be able to expand the activities of anesthesiologists.
