The authors randomly assign patients with newly diagnosed metastatic NSCLC to either receive early palliative care integrated with standard oncologic care or standard oncologic care. The hypothesis tested was that early palliative care would be beneficial concerning patient-reported outcomes and end of life care. They found that their hypothesis is strongly supported as patients who received early palliative care integrated with standard oncologic care showed higher scores on the FACT-L quality of life assessment instrument and fewer depressive symptoms. Interestingly, the early palliative care group patients also had less aggressive end of life care but longer survival.
