Abstract：
Patients with cancer, particularly those with aggressive types of cancer, can benefit from hospice care at the end of life. Providers require more information about patients with cancer who do not use hospice care. With this information, oncology nurses can provide individualized informed care to improve quality of life for patients with advanced or aggressive cancers.
This review aims to provide an overview of research outcomes of hospice use in the United States and answer the following question: \"What are the differences in hospice use among patients with cancer?\"
ProQuest Central, PubMed®, Scopus®, and CINAHL® databases were searched for articles published from 2017 to 2023. Seventeen studies were included.
Despite increased use over time, hospice services are underutilized among patients with cancer in general. Disparities in hospice use were noted across different types of cancer and individuals of different races or ethnicities, among other considerations. Based on findings from this review, oncology nurses can advocate for patients to receive hospice services that provide quality end-of-life care.

摘要：
背景：癌症患者，特别是那些患有侵袭性癌症的人，可以从临终关怀中受益。供应商需要有关不使用临终关怀的癌症患者的更多信息。有了这些信息,肿瘤科护士可以为晚期或侵袭性癌症患者提供个性化的知情护理，以提高生活质量。
目的：这篇综述旨在概述美国临终关怀使用的研究结果，并回答以下问题：“癌症患者临终关怀使用有哪些差异？”
方法：ProQuestCentral，PubMed®,Scopus®,在和CINAHL®数据库中搜索了2017年至2023年发表的文章。包括17项研究。
结果：尽管使用量随着时间的推移而增加，一般来说，癌症患者的临终关怀服务没有得到充分利用。在不同类型的癌症和不同种族或种族的个体中，发现了临终关怀使用的差异，在其他考虑中。根据这篇综述的发现，肿瘤科护士可以倡导患者接受临终关怀服务，提供优质的临终关怀。
