What is the difference between hospice and palliative care?

Does choosing hospice mean giving up treatment?
Choosing hospice means shifting the focus of care to comfort and quality of life rather than curing the underlying illness; patients can still receive treatment for pain and other symptoms, and can discuss their goals of care with their medical team.
