Key Points

End-of-life care among adolescents and young adults revealed increased palliative care utilization.
The population-based study examined involvement of palliative and intensive care for cancer patients.
Palliative care may help to better manage end-of-life situations for young patients.
Accessibility to specialized adolescent care services remains critical for optimizing outcomes.

Abstract

Both palliative care and intensive care are increasingly used among AYAs with cancer at the end of life in Ontario, Canada. Increasing the availability of specialized AYA-focused palliative care may help to optimize end-of-life care in this population.
