Early Palliative Care for People with Primary Malignant Brain Tumors: A Systematic Review
Listen to this summary
This systematic review investigates the role and timing of early palliative care (ePC) in patients with primary malignant brain tumors (PMBT) to determine its impact on quality of life and healthcare outcomes. The authors found that ePC is infrequently implemented, with varying definitions of "early," but it may lead to reduced aggressive end-of-life care and improved patient outcomes. They call for prospective trials to better define ePC's effects on quality of life, survival, and healthcare utilization in this population.
