End-of-life Decision Making in Neuro-Oncology

End-of-life decision-making in neuro-oncology involves helping patients with brain tumors and their families make informed choices about care as the disease progresses. It includes discussing treatment options, such as continuing or stopping aggressive therapies, and preferences for quality of life, comfort, and palliative care. Healthcare professionals aim to ensure the patient’s wishes are respected, provide clear information about prognosis, and support emotionally during this difficult time. The goal is to promote dignity, autonomy, and comfort, aligned with the patient’s values, as they approach the end of life.
