In a shared decision-making model, data regarding the impact of PC on symptom improvement and maintenance of QOL will greatly influence patients’ decision regarding PC. Furthermore, knowledge about disease-specific evolution of symptoms during the course of PC will improve the ability to anticipate problems, avert emergency room visits, and avoid deterioration of QOL. …
