CONCLUSION
ADVANCED CANCER
In our study, patients with advanced cancer did not hold deep‐seated preferences for EOL care. Default options had a significant influence on patients' preferences for EOL care, while the order effect was significant only in specific palliative care treatment objectives. Therefore, the structure of ADs mattered and influenced the choice of different treatment outcomes, including the role of palliative care. While CC is more conducive to improving the quality of EOL care, the Chinese population's preference for CC was low, which makes it vital to strengthen the publicity and education around CC, including palliative care. Such an education and information campaign should be directed at both patients and patients' families, especially among children of patients who prefer LE care.
