New study reveals key factors in 90-Day survival for advanced cancer patients after ER
NCT ID NCT07167095
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This completed study reviewed medical records of 1,250 advanced cancer patients who visited the emergency department. Researchers looked at factors like age, tumor type, and blood test results to see which patients were at higher risk of dying within 90 days. The goal is to help doctors better triage and refer patients to supportive care after an ER visit.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors identify which advanced cancer patients need extra support or palliative care after an ER visit, potentially improving their quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly change patient care. The findings may not apply to other hospitals or countries.
