As many as 20% of oncology patients receive chemotherapy in the last 14 days of their lives. This study characterized conversations between patients and cancer clinicians on chemotherapy cessation in the setting of advanced cancer. This 3-site study captured real-time, audio-recorded interviews between oncology clinicians and cancer patients during actual clinic visits. Audio-recordings were reviewed for discussion of chemotherapy cessation and were analyzed qualitatively. Among 525 recordings, 14 focused on stopping chemotherapy; 14 patients participated with 11 different clinicians. Two types of non-mutually-exclusive conversations elements emerged: direct and specific elements that described an absence of effective therapeutic options and indirect elements. An example of a direct element is as follows: “… You know this is… always really tough…. But I – I think that you may need more help…. I think we’re close to stopping chemotherapy….. And hospice is really helpful to have in place….” In contrast, the second conversation element was more convoluted: “…transplant is not an option and surgery is not an option….. The options…are taking a pill…. It doesn’t shrink the tumor…. It may help you live a little longer. But I’m worried if [you] had the pill, it’s still a therapy and it still has side effects. I [am] worried if I give it to you now, that you’re so weak, it will make you worse.” No relationship seemed apparent between conversation elements and chemotherapy cessation. Conversations on chemotherapy cessation are complex; multiple factors appear to drive the decision of whether or not to stop.
