    Area of Science:

    • Palliative Care
    • Oncology
    • Geriatrics

    Background:

    • Early palliative care (EPC) is an emerging intervention for advanced chronic degenerative diseases.
    • EPC improves patient quality of life, disease awareness, and treatment decision-making.
    • Randomized controlled trials support EPC's efficacy, particularly in cancer and other life-threatening illnesses.

    Discussion:

    • EPC enhances quality of life without compromising survival compared to aggressive treatments.
    • Integrated care models involving general practitioners and specialists are crucial for identifying suitable patients.
    • Cost savings are realized through more appropriate healthcare utilization.

    Key Insights:

    • EPC significantly boosts patient quality of life and understanding of their condition.
    • This model offers crucial support for treatment choices in advanced diseases.
    • EPC demonstrates cost-effectiveness for the healthcare system.

    Outlook:

    • Further research can explore EPC's application across a broader range of chronic conditions.
    • Optimizing integrated care delivery models will enhance EPC accessibility.
    • Long-term studies can further elucidate survival and economic impacts.
