Cost-effectiveness of early palliative care intervention in recurrent platinum-resistant ovarian cancer

Cost-Effectiveness of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy versus Primary Surgery in Elderly Patients with Advanced Ovarian Cancer

“…For example, using community-level data from the Mayo clinic, Aletti et al [61] showed that an aggressive and complex surgical approach has a cost-effectiveness ratio of $8912 per lifeyear gained compared with simple surgery in advanced ovarian cancer [61]. Similarly, Bristow et al [62] and Greving et al [63] have valued the place of varying treatment referral centers (e.g., expert center or tertiary referral care) in advanced-stage disease, while Lowery et al [64] demonstrate the potential of early palliative care intervention for recurrent disease cases.…”

Quality-of-Life Outcomes in Patients with Gynecologic Cancer with Colostomy and Effectiveness of Psychologist Consultation

“…Outpatient palliative care consultation has been associated with decreased symptom burden as measured by the Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale (ESAS) [19]. Outpatient palliative medicine consultation has been reported to be cost-effective for patients with cervical and ovarian cancer [20,21]. Additionally, the gold standard for these patients should include measure of quality-of-life and awareness for families, which they may expect full recovery.…”

Recurrent Cancer Is Associated With Dissatisfaction With Care—A Longitudinal Analysis Among Ovarian and Endometrial Cancer Patients

“…A trial in recurrent ovarian cancer demonstrated that early palliative care is cost-effective and cost saving, but effects on PROs are understudied. 34 Another trial shows that rehabilitation in a hospice day care unit reduced the unmet needs for psychological support for patients with advanced, recurrent, or progressive cancer. 35 Future intervention studies are needed to investigate the most optimal means to improve care for patients with recurrent cancer and to overcome barriers to integration of palliative care.…”
