Self-perceived burden to others (SPB) is a major concern of terminally ill cancer patients and is frequently factored into end-of-life (EOL) care decision-making. However, changes in and determinants of SPB and its longitudinal impact on preferences for EOL care over the dying process have not been investigated. Our study was aimed at filling this gap in knowledge.
