202 Background: ASCO guidelines recommend early palliative care (PC) for patients with advanced cancer, defined as referral within 8 weeks of diagnosis. Early has been associated improved quality life, survival and a reduction in healthcare utilization at the end life. We sought to determine role sociodemographic clinical patient factors on timing an embedded supportive oncology (SO) practice impact utilization. Methods: Patients ≥18 years cancer who first received SO visit between...

17 Background: While the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) has shown a relative reduction in mortality from lung cancer with application of United States Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF) guidelines for use Low-Dose Computed Tomography (LDCT) select high risk population, many studies have that rate screening been below national average minority population. Furthermore, still appears to be disproportionately higher amongst populations. With this study, we aim evaluate attitudes,...

199 Background: Palliative care (PC) has demonstrated a reduction in acute utilization for health systems. PC input patients with cancer been associated fewer emergency room visits, hospitalizations and hospital deaths the last 30 days of life. Less is known about upstream effects referral on healthcare (HCU). We examined HCU among 90 after first SO appointment predictors high HCU. Methods: Patients ≥18 years consult between 01/01/2021-06/30/2023 were included. who died within their...

e19007 Background: Pancreatic cancer continues to have one of the highest mortality rates among major diagnoses with greater than 90 percent for all stages and five year survival below 10 percent. With access treatment modalities such as chemo-radiation, staged surgical interventions targeted therapies, times increased but due costs these procedures, they may not be accessible members society. Recent studies shown that lower socioeconomic status is associated higher times. this study we aim...

PrEP involves daily oral emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (FTC/TDF or Truvada®) those exposure(s) high-risk groups. Studies have shown reduction transmission treatment.
