Keypoints:
- A randomized comparative effectiveness trial confirmed that early palliative care delivered through video is just as effective as in-person visits on maintaining quality of life in patients with advanced lung cancer.
- At 24 weeks, quality of life as assessed by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lung (FACT-L) score for the video group was 99.67 compared with 97.67 for the in-person group.
- Patients and caregivers in both study groups reported similarly high satisfaction rates.
