About
Malignant tumors are the leading cause of death in elderly patients, and palliative care can improve the quality of life for elderly advanced cancer patients. One of the main reasons why these patients are not included in palliative care is the lack of accurate estimation of their survival period by patients, family members, and doctors. Both doctors and patients tend to be overly optimistic about the survival period of elderly advanced cancer patients, leading to overtreatment. Therefore, assessing the risk of death for these patients and further establishing a survival period estimation model can improve the accuracy of doctors' clinical predictions of patient survival, facilitate early referral to palliative care, and promote rationalization of medical decision-making.
