To understand the evidence for early integrated palliative care and the limitations of implementing this efficacious model as standard of care for all patients with advanced cancer. 2. To describe the comparative effectiveness of delivering early integrated palliative care via telehealth using video versus in-person visits among patients with advanced lung cancer and their caregivers based on findings from the REACH-PC multisite trial. 3. To describe the comparative effectiveness of a stepped palliative care model for improving quality of life and other outcomes in patients with advanced lung cancer based on findings from the STEP-PC multisite randomized trial.</div></div><div><h3>References</h3><div>Temel JS, Jackson VA, El-Jawahri A, Rinaldi SP, Petrillo LA, Kumar P, McGrath KA, LeBlanc TW, Kamal AH, Jones CA, Rabideau DJ, Horick N, Pintro K, Gallagher Medeiros ER, Post KE, Greer JA.
