An analysis of healthcare use and the cost associated to end-of-life care of lung cancer patients in a Spanish hospital

Despite various studies have demonstrated that the consumption of healthcare services by cancer patients, and therefore healthcare costs, increases during the end-of-life period, there are insufficient studies which focus specifically on lung cancer. Thus, we aim to study the consumption of healthcare services and its cost in end-of-life lung cancer patients attended in the Puerta de Hierro University Hospital, Spain.
