A recent study found that video-based telehealth palliative care produced results similar to in-person palliative care for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer and their caregivers. The study, presented at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting in June, found that quality-of-life scores were virtually the same for telehealth and in-person palliative care.<\/p>\n

Barriers Impacting Access to Palliative Care<\/h2>\n

According to Lindsey Ulin, a palliative care fellow at Massachusetts General Hospital and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, who was not involved in the study, palliative care is focused on providing supportive care to people living with cancer and other serious illnesses. Palliative care physicians help manage symptoms and side effects like pain, fatigue and nausea.<\/p>\n

According to a 2019 analysis<\/a> in Quality of Life Research<\/em>, patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer and family members or friends who care for them often face physical, emotional and financial challenges that may impact their mental health and overall quality of life. And a 2024 article<\/a> in American Society of Clinical Oncology Educational<\/em> Book<\/em> argued that early integration of palliative care alongside cancer treatment can improve patients\u2019 quality of life.<\/p>\n

However, both Greer and Ulin say many barriers limit access to this care for advanced-stage patients and their caregivers. Common roadblocks include hospitals and clinics not offering palliative care, the misconception that palliative care is only for people at the end of life, transportation issues and the cost of care.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe hope is that telehealth palliative care reduces these burdens for the patient and the caregiver,\u201d Greer says.<\/p>\n

Telehealth Palliative Care Study Shows Promising Results<\/h2>\n

Greer\u2019s study involved 1,250 patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer and their caregivers. His research team randomly assigned participants to telehealth or in-person early palliative care across 22 cancer centers in the United States.<\/p>\n

Participants attended palliative care appointments every four weeks throughout their cancer treatment. At the week 24 assessments, quality-of-life scores were similar for telehealth (99.67) and in-person palliative care (97.67) based on the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lung (FACT-L).<\/p>\n

Researchers found there wasn\u2019t a significant difference in patient-reported symptoms, such as anxiety and depression, between the groups. \u201cThese are fairly standard measures when looking at the effects of palliative care,\u201d Greer says. \u201cWe look at these because we\u2019ve found that palliative care clinicians can help patients improve their quality of life, as well as their symptoms of anxiety.\u201d<\/p>\n

One difference that study data revealed was less caregiver involvement (36.6%) in virtual palliative care than in-person care (49.7%). \u201cWe had hypothesized that, given how convenient telehealth is, it would be easier for caregivers to participate,\u201d Greer says. \u201cWe realized that telehealth gives patients more autonomy to decide when to have a caregiver present. But with in-person care, the patient often needs a loved one to help them get to the clinic.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn palliative care, we think about the person living with cancer and their caregiver together as a unit,\u201d Ulin says. \u201cPalliative care is an extra layer of support, helping caregivers cope, communicate with other providers, understand a cancer diagnosis and treatment options, and provide resources.\u201d<\/p>\n
