We sought to examine the effect of integrated palliative and oncology care on QOL, mood, post-traumatic stress (PTSD) symptoms, and EOL outcomes in patients with AML. Methods: We conducted a multi-site randomized trial of integrated palliative and oncology care (n = 86) versus usual oncology care (n = 74) for patients with AML undergoing intensive chemotherapy. Patients assigned to the intervention were seen by palliative care clinicians at least twice per week during their hospitalization for induction chemotherapy and all subsequent hospital- izations.

  • June's Journey: a Story About Lung Cancer
    A STORY ABOUT LUNG CANCER Foreword elcome to our fourth annual Celebration of Life; an event that allows us to recognize and honour all those who have been diagnosed with lung cancer. Each person’s W experience with this disease is very much their own; from the initial symptoms to diagnosis to treatment. However, June’s Journey is likely to conjure some shared emotions. Mr. Bev McQuain has generously offered to provide his inspiring comic illustrations to accompany our clinical guidance in an educational book called June’s Journey: A Story About Lung Cancer. It is a heartfelt tale inspired on the real life journey of June McQuain, the illustrator’s wife and a “graduate” of the Lung Diagnostic Assessment Program (LDAP). This year we are also celebrating with our patients who have been diagnosed with esophageal cancer and received care as part of the Esophageal Diagnostic Assessment Program (EDAP). It is our hope that June’s Journey will offer comfort and inspiration to future LDAP patients as they embark on this often difficult journey. One of the key purposes of the LDAP and EDAP Programs is to ease the confusion and lessen the fear associated with a cancer diagnosis. Our physicians, surgeons and health care providers from St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton, Niagara Health System, Juravinski Cancer Centre and Brantford General Hospital all strive to do that by providing coordinated, compassionate state-of-the-art care to our patients. Their dedication and commitment to this purpose makes LDAP and EDAP much more than a program; LDAP and EDAP are teams, and we are proud to work alongside these professionals.
