Can early comfort care reduce aggressive End-of-Life treatments for cancer patients?
NCT ID NCT06150027
Summary
This study compares two approaches for cancer patients who visit emergency rooms with urgent needs. It tests whether systematically referring patients to a palliative care team (comfort care focused on quality of life) leads to less aggressive medical treatments near the end of life compared to standard care. The study involves 240 adult cancer patients in France whose disease is not curable, and measures how often patients receive intensive hospital care in their final weeks.
