Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze treatment patterns for biliary tract cancer (BTC) in Japan and investigate how often biliary infections affect treatment.
- Data was collected from over 22,000 patients diagnosed with BTC who received systemic therapies between 2011 and 2020, revealing that most patients were older males with extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma being the most common type.
- Findings indicated that nearly 30% of patients experienced treatment delays due to biliary infections, with specific details on antibiotic duration and timing of infections occurring during therapy.
Background: Providing palliative care patients living at home with timely access to medicines is critical to enable effective symptom management, minimise burden and reduce unplanned use of healthcare services. Little is known about how diverse community-based palliative care models influence medicine access.
Objective: To produce a critical overview of research on experiences and outcomes of medicine access in community-based palliative care models of service delivery through a systematic review and narrative synthesis.
