the Impact of Early Palliative Care on the Survival of Locally Advanced and / or Metastatic Cholangiocarcinoma Patients

Multicenter Retrospective Study Evaluating the Impact of Early Palliative Care on the Survival of Patients With Locally Advanced and / or Metastatic Cholangiocarcinoma (CCK)

The prognosis for cholangiocarcinoma is bad. Potentially, early management by a palliative care team could increase overall survival. We will also assess whether early management by a palliative care team could impact progression-free survival, the place of death and the date of the last chemotherapy, in particular to avoid unnecessary chemotherapy cures in an imminent end of life

Inclusion Criteria:

• Age> 18 years old

• Locally advanced and / or metastatic disease from the start or recurrent
• Initial diagnosis or recurrence between 1/01/2013 and 31/12/2019
