Health-related quality of life among cancer patients in their last year of life: results from the PROFILES registry

ConclusionsAll aspects of HRQoL are considerably impaired in patients with advanced cancer, with a marked lower HRQoL in the final months of life. This marked decline of HRQoL in the final months of life may be an indicator of approaching death and serve as an important trigger for end-of-life communication and decision-making about subsequent treatment and supportive care.
