Systemic Anticancer Therapy in the Last 30 Days of Life Is Tied to More Acute Care and Less Hospice Use in Older Adults: A SEER–Medicare Analysis

By MedXY|Dec 12, 2025

A SEER–Medicare study of 315,089 older adults found that systemic anticancer therapy within 30 days of death—whether cytotoxic, targeted, immunotherapy, or combinations—was associated with substantially higher acute care use and lower hospi
