Palliative care interventions and outcome in patients with glioblastoma – a retrospective, single-center study
This study revealed a broad availability of PC interventions for patients with GB. After adjustment of known prognostic factors, an association between SPC supply and prolonged OS was observed. Utmost efforts should be made to incorporate PC into the care of every patient within a standardized framework. Data on PC in patients with GB is still rare; therefore, further research should be made to improve PC in this highly burdened patient group.
