Summary
This study looked at whether adding a palliative care team (focused on symptom relief and emotional support) to usual cancer care improves quality of life for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Researchers compared two groups of 160 hospitalized adults with high-risk AML. The goal was to see if the combined approach helps with symptoms, mood, and end-of-life outcomes.
