Abstract

The importance of palliative care in patients with advanced cancer is established. Reports on the experience with palliative care in the Middle East region are limited. A prospective study was performed to characterize the palliative care experience at a tertiary care center in Lebanon and to identify the profile of patients requiring palliative care. This communication highlights the results of the study. Authors conclude that the profile of needs for individuals requiring palliative care in Lebanon is similar to westernized countries. Revisiting the continuum of cancer care is called for to better identify the optimal timing of intervention and avoid end of life distress.
