Introduction: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma has the lowest 5-y relative survival of all solid tumor malignancies. Palliative care can improve the quality of life of both patients and their caregivers. However, the utilization patterns of palliative care in patients with pancreatic cancer are unclear.
Methods: Pancreatic cancer patients who were diagnosed between October 2014 and December 2020 at the Ohio State University were identified. Palliative care and hospice utilization and referral patterns were assessed.
Results: Of the 1458 pancreatic cancer patients, 55% (n = 799) were male, median age at diagnosis was 65 y (interquartile range [IQR]: 58, 73), and most were Caucasian (n = 1302, 89%). Palliative care was utilized by 29% (n = 424) of the cohort, with the initial consultation obtained after an average of 6 ± 9 mo from diagnosis. Patients who received palliative care were younger (62 y, IQR: 55, 70 versus 67 y, IQR: 59, 73; P < 0.001) and more frequently members of racial and ethnic minorities (15% versus 9%; P < 0.001) versus those who did not receive palliative care. Among the 344 (24%) patients who received hospice care, 153 (44%) had no prior palliative care consultation. Patients referred to hospice care survived a median of 14 d (95% CI, 12-16) after hospice referral.
Conclusions: Only 3 out of 10 patients with pancreatic cancer received palliative care at an average of 6 mo from initial diagnosis. More than two out of every five patients referred to hospice had no previous palliative care consultation. Efforts to understand the impact of improved integration of palliative care into pancreatic cancer programs are needed.
