Between host country and homeland: a grounded theory study on place of dying and death in migrant cancer patients

Palliative care professionals should recognize the importance of transnational networks, consider bureaucratic barriers, and encourage open discussions regarding place of dying and death decision. To navigate these complexities, we propose a question guide for specialists during consultations. This tool aims to enhance culturally sensitive communication, promote shared decision-making, and address the challenges of cross-border end-of-life care. By accommodating transnational ties, palliative care services can better align with the realities of migrant cancer patients, fostering equitable and dignified end-of-life care.
