Gynaecologic oncology referrals to specialist palliative care in a tertiary referral centre: population, characteristics and outcomes

This study gives insight into the demographic and diagnostic profiles of patients with gynaecological cancer referred for palliative care, alongside demonstrating rapid response to such referrals. Despite the rapid assessment times, the research importantly identifies differences in outcomes among different cancer subtypes, with a particular emphasis on the variance in discharge destinations. These findings reflect both patient preferences and medical needs, demonstrating the role of tailoring palliative care approaches to meet the individual needs and desires of this diverse patient population.
