• W2893465034 abstract "Background: Thailand is a resource-limited country with universal health care. Cancer services are available for everyone for free, but the system has been overloaded due to limited number of qualified specialist physicians, nurses, radiology technicians, and growing demand from ageing population. Patients with advanced cancer are often not referred to a palliative care (PC) service until multiple treatment failure. Aim: To provide a better access to PC, we initiated an independent palliative care counseling and home service, focusing on families of patients with advanced cancer. Methods: The families of patients with advanced cancer were referred to our home palliative care service through cancer patient support groups, self-referral or from other physicians. Eligibility for PC was guided through a Thai national guideline of cancer treatment as well as by NCCN guideline. Early stage cancer were excluded from the service and referred to oncology service of patient's choice. For each family, we arranged a family meeting/counseling session at patient's home or a designated place and introduce palliative care as well as cancer therapy options. If the patient choose palliative care, then we provide home PC. Patients are followed at home by home visits, and continually communicated online and by phone. Family members visits palliative clinic for morphine and other medications. Results: In the first 3 years of operation, 53 adult patients with advanced or recurrent cancer and their families were counseled. Fifty chose home palliative care service, exclusively (30) or along with a hospital oncology service (20), while 3 patients preferred life-prolonging cancer therapy. The average age (±SD) of patients were 60 (±16) years. The most common cancers were stage IV or metastatic breast (7), lung (6), colorectal (6), and leukemia/lymphoma (6). The median survival time of this PC cohort was 3.1 months, with 16 (32%) living > 6 months, and 10 (20%) > 1 year. Of 36 patients who had died, 22 (61%) died at home, 13 (36%) at a local hospital, and 1 (3%) at a cancer center. Conclusion: For advanced cancer patients, palliative care can be introduced early and efficiently by PC team and most people would prefer PC. PC counseling may serve as an entry point to cancer care system. For patients who choose early palliative care, it can reduce burden on the existing busy oncology service, while providing satisfaction on patients and family." @default.
