PY - 2020 DA - 2020/06/19 TI - Relatives of deceased patients with metastatic lung cancer’s views on the achievement of treatment goals and the choice to start treatment: a structured telephone interview study JO - BMC Palliative Care SP - 86 VL - 19 IS - 1 AB - Lung cancer has a high impact on both patients and relatives due to the high disease burden and short life expectancy. Previous studies looked into treatment goals patients have before starting a systemic treatment. However, studies on relatives’ perceptions of treatment at the end of life are scarce. Therefore, we studied the perspectives of relatives in hindsight on the achievement of treatment goals and the choice to start treatment for metastatic lung cancer of their loved one.
