Clinical Trial Summary

This study verifies whether integrated Early Palliative Care for advanced cancer patients diagnosed due to a solid tumor improve quality of life and enhances the ability to overcome the current crisis.


Clinical Trial Description

Previous reports suggest that starting palliative care early in cancer patients appears to improve patient's quality of life, symptom management, depression, and anxiety.

This study aims to evaluate the effect of the introduction of early palliative care services to advanced cancer patients. Eligible patients are 20 years or older, and has an advanced cancer diagnosis (histologically or cytologically confirmed) due to a solid tumor, a European Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-2, an estimated life expectancy of 12 months or less. The primary goal of an integrated early palliative care program is to improve the overall quality of life of patients and their families. Secondarily, it is to help understand the disease, resolving conflicts in the decision-making process, improving the crisis coping capacity, and further determining the patient's and family's advanced care planning. At last, it is desired to evaluate the effect of the program on overall medical cost savings and 1 year survival.

Participants of the study will be allocated in the intervention group and the control group equally. Within three weeks from the time of randomization, the first meeting with a palliative care team will be held. In the time of baseline questionnaire, patients will be provided with self-study education materials and videos on the early palliative care and advance care planning. Once in every three weeks for six months, which is the duration for one treatment course, palliative care for advance care planning, symptom control, and other mental, social and spiritual problems will be provided. After the first meeting with the palliative care team, telephone coaching will be performed once a week for the first 12 weeks and then every two weeks until the end of the study. ;
