Isi artikel

Unnecessary health care at the end of life is a problem well recognized in many areas of medicine including the care of prostate cancer, breast cancer, and elective surgeries.1-3 Treatments and tests may be unnecessary or even inappropriate if they involve risks that outweigh potential benefits. For example, mammography is no longer recommended in women who have less than 10 years to live, given the known risks and limited benefits of screening.4 To target services to those who may benefit, many guidelines now recommend incorporating life expectancy into clinical decisions.
