Abstract
The conduct of surgical palliative care studies has largely mimicked the standards of oncologic surgery in the measurement of survival and perioperative morbidity as measures of success. Although these endpoints are familiar, success in palliative surgery may be better assessed by investigating Quality Of Life (QOL) endpoints such as relief of symptoms, pain control, and durability of symptom relief, minimizing hospitalization, and consideration of utilization of resources.
