Abstract
:

Recent advances in cancer therapies offer survival benefit when cure is no longer possible. The contribution of the Medical Emergency Teams (METs) in the context of advancing disease has received little empirical consideration. This study set out to explore MET intervention at the end of life for people with advanced cancer in an Australian comprehensive cancer centre, and its impact on quality of death.
