OP70 Place of Cancer Deaths in England, 2001-2010
Background Place of death is an important quality indicator for end of life care. Understanding where patients with cancer die and what factors are associated with place of death is important for improving end of life care and has significant health care cost implications. There is, however, limited up-to-date evidence to guide practice. Methods This is a whole population-based observational study. All deaths with cancer as the underlying cause o…
PS43 What is Important to the Quality of Life of People with Multiple Myeloma? Implications for the Design Of Quality of Life Questionnaires
Background Multiple myeloma is an incurable cancer, although recent treatment advances have improved expected survival from months to years in some cases. Increasing survival has elevated the importance of understanding and measuring patients’ quality of life (QOL) in research and clinical settings. A number of QOL questionnaires exist for use in myeloma, yet there is a paucity of research to understand what issues are important to QOL from the p…
OP22 Projections of Healthcare Costs in the Last Year of life for Older Cancer Patients in European Union Member States (2008-2030)
Background Despite advances, cancer remains a major cause of pain, suffering and death. The highest incidence and mortality occurs in older people (≥65), and given demographic change the numbers are expected to rise in the coming years. This has financial consequences and key implications for service planning. We estimated the current and future cost of providing care for older cancer patients in the last year of life (LYOL) in the 27 European Un…
