TL;DR: The aim of this study was to provide evidence that palliative care and pain relief research should be considered as a continuum of treatment for patients with life-threatening illnesses.
Journal ArticleDOI

William F. Pirl,Joseph A. Greer,Lara Traeger,Vicki A. Jackson,Inga T. Lennes,Emily R. Gallagher,Pedro Emilio Perez-Cruz,Rebecca S. Heist,Jennifer S. Temel +8 more
TL;DR: The data do not support the hypothesis that treatment of depression mediated the observed survival benefit from early palliative care, and depression predicted worse survival in patients with newly diagnosed metastatic NSCLC.
Journal ArticleDOI

David Hui,Omar Shamieh,Carlos Eduardo Paiva,Pedro Emilio Perez-Cruz,Jung Hye Kwon,Mary Ann Muckaden,Minjeong Park,Sriram Yennu,Jung Hun Kang,Eduardo Bruera +9 more
TL;DR: The Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale (ESAS) is widely used for symptom assessment in clinical and research settings and a sensitivity‐specificity approach was used to identify the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for improvement and deterioration for each of the 10 symptoms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Components of early outpatient palliative care consultation in patients with metastatic nonsmall cell lung cancer.
Juliet Jacobsen,Vicki A. Jackson,Constance Dahlin,Joseph A. Greer,Pedro Emilio Perez-Cruz,J. Andrew Billings,William F. Pirl,Jennifer S. Temel +7 more
TL;DR: Initial palliative care consultation near the time of diagnosis in patients with metastatic NSCLC in this intervention is nearly an hour in length and largely addresses symptom management, patient and family coping, and illness understanding and education.
