- W4290608081 abstract "Background: In advanced and incurable cancer disease, chemotherapy may be recommended if it improves the quality of life, even if it does not increase survival. However, in an end-of-life setting, the use of chemotherapy is controversial, with less clear indications and more individualized decisions. This study aimed to evaluate patients who received chemotherapy within the last three months of life, an indicator of the quality of care provided. Methods: We analyzed data from patients receiving chemotherapy in the last 3 months of life and who died from January 2018 to December 2020, in our Oncology Department. Results: It was found that 391 patients received chemotherapy in the last 3 months of life. Most had metastatic disease at diagnosis (71%, n=276) and were treated in a first-line setting. A more detailed analysis revealed that 50% (n=193) underwent treatment in the last month and 22% (n=42) in the last week of life. Most patients died due to disease progression, with 79% of deaths occurring in the hospital. Conclusions: This work puts into figures the reality of an Oncology Centre, revealing the investment made in fighting the disease and providing greater longevity to patients, with quality of life." @default.
