Pathway Target Population
Patients with a confirmed colon cancer diagnosis who have undergone the recommended diagnostic and
staging procedures as outlined in the Colorectal Cancer Diagnosis Pathway.
The family physician should be informed of all tests and consultations and usual ongoing care with the family physician is
assumed to be part of the pathway.
Clinical trials should be considered for all phases of the Colon Cancer Treatment Pathways, where available.
All patients under consideration for an ostomy should be referred to an Enterostomal Therapy Nurse preoperatively.
Patients should have access to an Enterostomal Therapy Nurse before and after ostomy surgery.
Ostomy Care and Management, Clinical Best Practice Guideline, Registered Nurses Association of Ontario.

Psychosocial care should be considered an integral and standardized part of cancer care for patients and their families at
all stages of the illness trajectory. Refer to EBS #19-3

IDENTIFY
Identify patients who could benefit from a palliative care approach early in the illness trajectory. At the
very least use the following screening question:
“Would you be surprised if this patient were to die in the next 6 -12 months?”
If answer is NO
↓
Initiate Palliative Care Approach alongside
treatments to control the disease if these are still
appropriate. Start by screening for symptoms
and functional status as outlined in “SCREEN”
and continue along the pathway. Consider a
referral to specialized palliative care services if
the needs are complex*.
If answer is YES

*Individuals with isolated peritoneal metastases could be evaluated for resectability/peritoneal

**Individuals with oligo-metastases who are not surgical candidates could be considered for
stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) or radiofrequency ablation.

Review regularly, particularly when there is a change in clinical status
Refer to EBS #19- 1
□ Screen for specific end of life psychosocial issues
·
·
Specific examples of psychological needs include: anticipatory grief, past trauma or losses, preparing children (young children, adolescents, young
adults), guardianship of children, death anxiety
Consider referral to available resources and/or specialized services
□ Identify patients who could benefit from specialized palliative care services (consultation or transfer)
·
Discuss referral with patients and family
□ Proactively develop and implement a plan for expected death

·
Explore place-of-death preferences and assess whether this is realistic
Explore the potential settings of dying and the resources required (e.g., home, residential hospice, palliative care unit, long term care or nursing home)
Anticipate/Plan for pain & symptom management medications and consider an emergency home kit for unexpected pain & symptom management
Preparation and support for family to manage

At the time of death:
□ Pronouncement of death
□ Completion of death certificate
□ Allow family members to spend time with loved one upon
death, in such a way that respects individual rituals, cultural
diversity and meaning of life and death
Patient Death
□ Implement the pre-determined plan for expected death
□ Arrange time with the family for a follow-up call or visit
□ Provide age-specific bereavement services and resources
□ Inform family of grief and bereavement resources/services
□ Initiate grief care for family members at risk for complicated
grief
□ Encourage the bereaved to make an appointment with an
appropriate health care provider as required
Bereavement Support and Follow-Up
□ Offer psychoeducation and/or counseling to the bereaved
□ Screen for complicated and abnormal grief (family members, including
children)
□ Consider referral of bereaved family member(s) and children to
appropriate local resources, spiritual advisor, grief counselor, hospice
and other volunteer programs depending on severity of grief
