Early Palliative Care for Patients With Advanced Pancreatic Cancer.
Sponsor: Inna Chen, MD
Summary
Pancreatic adenocarcinoma is one of the deadliest cancers. Patients with pancreatic cancer experience marked physical suffering, psychological distress and resource-demanding care at the end-of-life. Therefore, an urgent need exists to evaluate the early specialized palliative care model in a comparative study and across multiple care settings to define quality of life and survival benefits in patients with pancreatic cancer.
