First seen Feb 28, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 14 times
Summary
This study looks at whether cancer patients who are not expected to be cured benefit from being referred to a palliative care team when they visit the emergency room. About 240 adults with advanced cancer will be randomly assigned to either standard care or a direct referral to palliative care. The goal is to see if this approach reduces aggressive treatments and hospitalizations near the end of life.
