Hospice enrollment for terminally ill patients with gynecologic malignancies: Impact on outcomes and interventions (abstract)



Objective 

To determine survival and interventions for patients with non-curative gynecologic malignancies based on supportive care enrollment.

  
Conclusions
While retrospective reviews evaluating hospice are challenging, our data suggest no detrimental impact on survival for hospice patients. Continued evaluation for patients at the end-of-life is necessary in order to optimize resource utilization.
