The Impact of Palliative Care Consultation on Aggressive Medical Interventions in End-of-life Among Patients with Metastatic Breast Cancer: Insights from the U.S. National Patient Sample.

While PCC can reduce end-of-life aggressive interventions, it was underutilized among patients with MBC in the end-of-life. A myriad of clinical and patient factors may still challenge timely consultation. We urge for future endeavors in developing strategies to remove barriers in the implementation, especially earlier in the disease course, to assure timely PC treatments and reduce discomfort amid aggressive interventions for MBC.
