Abstract:

Palliative thoracic radiotherapy provides rapid and effective symptom relief in approximately two-thirds of NSCLC patients treated. In patients with poor performance status, the degree of palliation appears unrelated to the radiation dose or fractionation schedule. Conversely, in patients with good performance status, higher radiation doses administered over longer periods have shown modest survival benefits. These findings stem from studies conducted before the advent of immunotherapy and targeted therapy in clinical practice. Currently, there are no large prospective studies specifically ded

The treatment undertaken and outcomes were recorded. Results Overall, 68 patients were identified (37 female) with a median age of 70 years. Fort

Abstract:

The major conclusions of the Workshop on Goals of Palliative Cancer Therapy are as follows: 1. The goals of any cancer therapy should be stated explicitly. 2. If the goal of treatment is palliation, this should be documented according to one of the established and validated methods for assessment of quality of life. Several validated methods are available, and although imperfect, have been shown to give reliable information. 3. The use of simple measures of quality of life (eg, symptom checklists, pain assessment cards) should become routine in oncology practice. The act of introducing such me

Several recent papers have shown the safety of laparoscopic gastrectomy after neoadjuvant chemotherapy for advanced gastric cancer.

Abstract:

188 Background: The efficacy of single fraction (fx) radiation treatment (RT) has proven to have equipoise for palliation of bone metastases when compared to courses of 10 fx or more. Despite these data, there has been a slow adoption of this practice in the US and worldwide. Examination of our multicenter practice from 2004 - 2016 showed that single fx RT utilization has remained at 17% and hypofractionationed (HFX) courses (1 or 5 fx) have remained at 71% since 2009. We hypothesized that evidence-based, treatment-guiding directives could improve HFX utilization in this population. Methods: I

AbstractThe paper discusses inappropriate (futile) treatment by analyzing the casuistics of palliative patients in the terminal stage of illness who are hospitalized at the Department of Internal Medicine and Geriatrics of the Faculty hospital with policlinic (FNsP). Our research applies the principles of palliative care in the context of bioethics. The existing clinical conditions of healthcare in Slovakia are characteristic of making a taboo of the issues of inappropriate treatment of palliative patients.

Abstract:

220 Background: Among colon cancer patients some patients present with significant symptom burden needing upfront palliation-directed therapies, aimed to improve the quality of life of patients with severe illnesses. These include palliation-directed surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, pain management, or a combination of these. The extent to which these palliation-directed therapies are utilized in colon cancer remains under-explored. This study's purpose was to understand the trends in utilization and factors associated with palliation-directed treatment modalities among patients with colon ca

Abstract:

Aim: Patients diagnosed with locally advanced and/or metastatic gastric cancer and who cannot undergo surgery may need palliative treatment during their follow-up. There is scarce data about outcomes of palliative gastric radiotherapy (RT). In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of 3-D external beam RT on oncological outcomes, as a non-invasive method.Material and Method: From 2013 to 2017, sixteen gastric cancer patients treated with palliative external RT in our institutional clinic were evaluated. Only patients who received palliative gastric radiotherapy for obstruction, pain an

Abstract:

140 medical undergraduates in a Hong Kong medical school rated the usefulness of different modalities of cancer treatment for curative, medically palliative, and psychologically palliative care, respectively. Factor analyses showed that respondents used a Chinese versus non-Chinese cultural framework in conceptualizing modalities of treatment outside the conventional Western medical model. The functions of unconventional modalities were mainly for psychologically palliative care according to the respondents, although they did not regard these modalities as adversive to curative and medically p

Abstract:

29 Background: Substantial evidence exists to suggest improved patient outcomes when oncologic patients are involved in making treatment decisions. Tools have been shown to facilitate the decision-making process for patients, yet aids to support decision making in radiation therapy (RT) are scarce. Given RT is one of the more difficult modalities for patients to conceptualize, there is a pressing need to develop and test decision aids, particularly in patients with incurable cancers. Methods: In this study, a video decision tool was developed and tested with 42 inpatients referred for palliati

Abstract:

The palliative care patient is definitely a unique type of patient. Due to the complexity of the symptoms requires a holistic therapeutic approach. Modern methods of treatment in palliative and hospice care underline an important role of physio, kinesiotherapy and pharmacological treatment coexistence. The rehabilitation reduces clinical symptoms, accompanying the basic disease and increases the quality of life of palliative patients and their families. It becomes an inseparable element of treatment, both in outpatient care as well as in stationary care and home care. Due to the high dynamics

Abstract:

Palliative care includes comprehensive strategies to optimize quality of life for patients and families confronting terminal illness. Infections are a common complication in terminal illness, and infections due to multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) are particularly challenging to manage in palliative care. Limited data suggest that palliative care patients often harbor MDRO. When MDROs are present, distinguishing colonization from infection is challenging due to cognitive impairment or metastatic disease limiting symptom assessment and the lack of common signs of infection.
