Perceptions of Prognosis and Hope Among Patients With Advanced Cancer at the Time of Enrollment in an Early-Phase Clinical Trial
At the time of enrollment in an EPCT, we found no association between patients' hope and perception of the intent of cancer therapy or report of having discussed their prognosis with their oncologist. These findings suggest that patients can have hope despite acknowledging the noncurative intent of their therapy and prognostic discussions.
