Place of Death of Cancer Patients Treated at a German Comprehensive Cancer Center
Even if treated in certified centers, CCC cancer patients have a high in-hospital mortality rate. The place of death reflects care structures and disease progression, highlighting the need for palliative care. As frequent death sites, CCCs should offer specialized palliative services. Further research is needed to better align the place of death with patient wishes.
