Abstract

Early palliative care improves symptoms and quality of life for patients (pts) with advanced cancer. At Veneto Institute of Oncology - IOV in Padua (Italy) a simultaneous care outpatient clinic (SCOC) has been active since 2014, in which pts with advanced-stage disease are evaluated by an oncologist with palliative care team. Pts have been referred to the SCOC through a referral form, scored to prioritize pts’ access, since 2018. We prospectively assessed SCOC pts’ characteristics and SCOC outcomes through the internal procedure indicators.
