title: [Multifaceted Intervention to Explore the Appropriate Time of Anti-Cancer Treatment Cessation].
abstract: When anti-cancer treatment should be ended is very controversial. This reviewprovides a narrative summary of recent empirical studies about the potential association between the timing of anti-cancer treatment cessation and patient quality of death and dying. Furthermore, we propose a multifaceted intervention model for Japanese oncology patients based on the evidence available.
