Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to estimate the potential benefit of early and continued palliative care (PC) consultation on end of life issues.
Detailed Description:
Participants in this study will be randomized to either an intervention group or a standard of care group. Participants in the intervention group will participate in regular visits with a palliative (or supportive) care specialist, while participants in the standard of care group will only see palliative care specialists if the clinician requests a referral. All participants will be asked to complete monthly questionnaires regarding their general well-being.
Participants have a greater chance of being assigned to the intervention group than to the standard of care group. On average, in every 5 people randomized, 3 will be randomized to the intervention and 2 will be randomized to standard of care.
