Palliative care (PC) improves quality of life, clarifies treatment goals, and prevents unnecessary interventions at the end of life. While metastatic disease is considered incurable and routinely leads to PC involvement, the need for PC in patients with non-metastatic cancer is often less clear. This study investigated whether metastatic status affects timing of in-hospital PC consultation and hospitalization length in patients with advanced cancer.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We retrospectively analyzed hospitalized patients with cancer who received PC consultations between 2016\u20132022.
