About this study

Rationale: With improvements in systemic tumour-directed treatments for primary tumours, survival rates for patients with bone metastases are improving. However, individual illness trajectories become less predictable and more vulnerable to adverse events from treatments, negatively impacting a patient's quality of life (QoL). Palliative care is aimed at reducing symptoms and improving QoL for patients with incurable diseases through early identification, thorough assessment, and effective management of physical, psychological, social, and spiritual challenges. Early integration of specialist palliative care into oncology care has shown to reduce symptom burden and potentially inappropriate end-of-life care, and to enhance QoL, yet it is often initiated late. Objective: The primary objective is to evaluate the satisfaction with care and QoL experienced by patients with bone metastases who are offered a consultation with the hospital palliative care consultation team (PCCT) when referred for palliative radiotherapy compared to patients who receive standard of care. Study design: A prospective, pragmatic, two-arm multicenter randomized controlled trial within the PRospective Evaluation of interventional StudiEs on boNe meTastases (PRESENT+) cohort that follows the Trials within Cohorts (TwiCs) design. Study population: Patients with bone metastases referred for palliative radiotherapy who have their treating physician in one of the participating centers and have not been in …
