Palliative care is the umbrella, not the rain-a metaphor to guide conversations in advanced cancer

Article

ZIMMERMANN, Camilla | MATHEWS, Jean

Early palliative care improves patients’ quality of life and is recommended as standard care for patients with advanced cancer.Nevertheless, referrals to palliative care usually occur in the last weeks of life, leading to untreated symptoms, patient distress, and unnecessary aggressive treatments at the end of life. One of the main barriers to early referrals is that patients tend to associate palliative care with hopelessness, cessation of cancer treatment, and death. While physicians may attempt to explain the benefits of early palliative care, this may be difficult owing to patients’ negative preconceptions.
