This retrospective study aimed to analyze the impact of a multidisciplinary collaborative palliative care model on the quality of life and medical costs in patients with advanced lung cancer. Methods: This retrospective study enrolled 280 patients with advanced lung cancer who received palliative care at Wenzhou Central Hospital. Patients were divided into two groups based on the care they received: a group receiving routine palliative care (routine care group) and another group receiving multidisciplinary collaborative palliative care (multidisciplinary care group). Changes in depression, anxiety, quality of life scores [Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lung (FACT-L), Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lung Cancer Subscale (FACT-LCS), Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lung total outcome index (FACT-L TOI)], sleep quality score [Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)], overall well-being score [General Well-Being (GWB) scale], and medical costs (daily and total costs) were compared between the two groups before and after the intervention. Results: After the intervention, the multidisciplinary care group had significantly lower symptoms of depression and anxiety compared to the routine care group (p &lt; 0.05); significantly higher scores in all dimensions of FACT-L, FACT-LCS, and FACT-L TOI (p &lt; 0.05); and a significantly lower PSQI score and a considerably higher GWB score (p &lt; 0.05). Furthermore, the average daily costs and total medical expenses were lower in the multidisciplinary care group than in the routine care group (p &lt; 0.05). Conclusion: A multidisciplinary collaborative palliative care model can significantly reduce negative emotions, enhance quality of life and overall well-being, improve sleep quality, and effectively reduce medical expenses in patients with advanced lung cancer, demonstrating high clinical application value.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.31083\/bjhm51732","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,31]],"date-time":"2026-03-31T08:00:46Z","timestamp":1774944046000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The Impact of a Multidisciplinary Collaborative Palliative Care Model on the Overall Quality of Life and Medical Costs in Patients With Advanced Lung Cancer"],"prefix":"10.31083","volume":"87","author":[{"given":"Yanyan","family":"Xu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Affairs Department, Wenzhou Central Hospital, 325000 Wenzhou, Zhejiang, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shicheng","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Emergency Department, Yongjia Hospital of TCM, 325100 Wenzhou, Zhejiang, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-9050-1126","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Honghua","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Palliative Care Department, Wenzhou Central Hospital, 325000 Wenzhou, Zhejiang, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"16242","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","unstructured":"Bray F, Laversanne M, Sung H, Ferlay J, Siegel RL, Soerjomataram I, et al.
