Hannah Abrams, PGY6 at Fred Hutch Cancer Center, shared a post by Journal of Geriatric Oncology on X, adding:
“Another study showing we should consider SNF admission for elder pts w/ advanced cancer to be a ‘pause point’ to check back in on overall tx and prognosis.
Reminiscent of this study Nathan A. Pennell – after dc to SNF, only ~30% received further tx for mNSCLC.”
