“…Temel and colleagues study [8] demonstrated the benefits of good end of life care. In a randomised controlled trial, patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (and thus a poor prognosis) were randomised to receive standard oncological treatment with or without early referral, i.e.…”

Topics of interest to participants included likely nature and place of death; practical planning for funerals and wills; and sources of information and support. Emotional or psychological support to think about end of life was not routinely offered and participants found it very difficult to discuss these issues with family members. The study suggests that more could be done to encourage clinicians, men with Duchenne, family members and the wider NMD community to pay attention to end of life planning issues and the associated need for emotional support and high quality interactions between patients and clinicians.

“…The discipline's clinical roots have been most well established in and around oncology care. Over recent decades, the timing of palliative care involvement has gradually marched upstream in disease trajectory from exclusive focus on end-of-life care toward much earlier implemented concurrent care, such as the time of metastatic disease staging [2]. Additionally, clinical models of palliative care continue to evolve across care settings.…”

“…Prior studies show that patients often have inaccurate perceptions about prognosis, leading to receipt of burdensome treatments at the end of life, 10,11 that patients may alter end-of-life treatment requests when adequately informed, 12 and that outcomes may be improved when patients engage in palliative care. 13 General internists are well positioned to offer a clinical perspective on the overall health status of those with advanced cancer and to discuss end-of-life care. 14 The general internist may also be well suited to revisit prognosis and realign the care plan with patient preferences.…”
