Abstract
This literature review explores the barriers hindering the widespread implementation of palliative radiotherapy (PRT) in cancer care and proposes strategies to enhance its efficacy and availability. The study emphasizes the importance of specialized training for palliative care specialists in PRT and palliative care education for radiation oncologists. Additionally, the introduction of dedicated pathways and organizational models for PRT is recommended to streamline its integration into palliative care. The article underscores the need for comprehensive education and training to overcome these barriers, ultimately improving the quality of life for patients with advanced cancer.
