False dichotomy.

It’s a logical fallacy gaining traction in the realm of oncologic palliation. The simple but eyebrow-raising study reports private hospice annual expenses on palliative radiation decreased $6.3 → 1.6 million (75%) and on chemo $12.3 → 1.3 million (90%) from 2011-2018, suggesting patients increasingly must postpone hospice services until completion of palliative therapy. | Hsu, JAMA Oncol 2020
