In May 2018, Mayo Clinic hosted a gynecologic cancer education course for ovarian cancer survivors and caregivers. Dr. Jacob Strand, palliative medicine, provided an overview about advanced care planning and the value as it relates to cancer patients and their families. Regardless of whether a patient is at the beginning, middle or end of their cancer journey, understanding advanced care options and how they impact care decisions can help a patient and their family navigate the appropriate path for them.
