“…Thus, it could be expected that symptoms and other palliative needs had been identi ed and treated by their responsible physicians or care teams. The nding that this was not always so is in line with other studies (7,29) showing that several common symptoms in patients with advanced cancer such as pain, constipation, nausea, depression and poor sleep, may go undetected by health care providers and therefore remain inadequately controlled. A recent study reported that 30% of patients treated with palliative RT for pain did not receive any palliative care the last six months before RT (29).…”

“…We performed a retrospective review of patients with metastatic, non-hematologic, solid malignancies who received palliative RT at our institution from July 2017 to February 2018 and who had died by the date of final study follow-up in June 2021 as ascertained by the electronic medical records. A larger cohort of 162 patients with metastatic cancer was initially identified and has been previously described (20).

Nearly 80% of patients with metastatic cancer also present with symptomatic disease at the time of palliative RT consultation (20). Many patients with advanced cancer experience emotional burdens in addition to physical symptoms related to their disease and treatment side effects (21).…”
