Summary

This study tested whether asking cancer patients to fill out a symptom questionnaire online before their doctor visit could help identify who might benefit from a palliative care referral. 40 adults with advanced cancer participated. The goal was to see if this approach is practical and to understand what factors influence a patient's decision to accept or decline palliative care.
