Shenzhen is a rapidly growing city in China with a population of over 11 million. The Hong Kong University-Shenzhen Hospital (HKU-SZH) was established in 2012 as a new model of publicly funded health care in mainland China. The clinical oncology center of the HKU-SZH was launched in 2013 which pledged to provide integrated palliative care for advanced cancer patients. This study aims to retrospectively analyze the quality of end-of-life care amongst patients with advanced cancer during their last hospitalization in the HKU-SZH.
