Description
Sophia Maggiore, Mary Kate Koch, Carma Bylund, and Susan Bluck study how older cancer patients face a terminal outlook in 2023. Patients who own their state show less distress and plan more for end of life. The study held 204 adults in outpatient comfort care, with a mean age near 66.
Stage four patients owned a grave state more often than lower stages, yet only 31 percent called their state terminal. Heavier symptoms and a sense of dependence both pushed toward full ownership. Stage alone, the team warns, is a weak guide for talks on outlook.
