[Evaluation of Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting in Patients with Hematological Malignancies Using MASCC Antiemesis Tool(MAT)].

: We offer inpatient support for end-stage cancer patients, not only in palliative care units, but also in general medical and long-term care units. We also provide outpatient palliative care and offer emergent backup for the regional home care clinics. From January 2014 to December 2016, 1,832 patients were hospitalized, and among them, 983 patients visited our hospital on an emergency basis. Among the urgent hospitalized patients, 378 patients returned home after adequate palliative care. But 605 patients had to stay admitted in the hospital until their time of death. Ninety-one patients died within 48 hours after urgent hospitalization. Of these 91 patients, 70% came to our hospital because of increasing dyspnea and decreased level of consciousness additionally, 36 of 91 patients had received treatment by home care clinic doctors, and 50% of them had hoped for at-home death. The patients' preference of treatment facility tends to vary depending on their general condition. Hence, we have to offer appropriate facilities for palliative care. Building good relationships between hospitals and regional home care clinics and creating a system for patients to choose the appropriate time and place for treatment with a smooth transition from their home to the hospital during their end-of-life period is important in this process.
