First seen Mar 27, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study looks at whether bringing in palliative care doctors early during an unplanned hospital stay can reduce aggressive treatments near the end of life for people with advanced cancer. About 493 adults with metastatic or locally advanced digestive, gynecological, ENT, or sarcoma cancer who are on palliative treatment will take part. The goal is to see if early collaboration leads to less chemotherapy, fewer ER visits, and fewer ICU stays in the final weeks of life.
