Background and Hypothesis: Palliative care, though designed improve quality of life in patients diagnosed with a grave illness, is widely stigmatized as an “end of life” service. Cancer diagnosis has been known to cause mental stress on patients; the added stigmatization of palliative care with death is a barrier to care, especially in gastric cancer patients whose delay in treatment can result in poor cancer prognosis and outcomes. Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) intervention is promising is an ideal intervention in this case, yet, understudied in palliative oncology. Successful CBT intervention can combat guilt, denial and stigma, leading to more positive outlook on life and palliative care. We hypothesize that CBT intervention will increase stage 3/4 gastric cancer patients’ acceptance to start palliative care early in their cancer treatment by decreasing associated stigma.
