“…Cancer palliative care in African regions has not yet become the main focus for both the people and the government. This is linear with the argument of Walker, Edwards, Bagcivan, & Bakitas (2017). They find Malawi government (African sub-Saharan region) has not put much thought into cancerrelated issues, quite as opposed to infectious disease such as HIV/AIDS.…”

“…The United States of America is on the highest place regarding palliative care service-that is, under the category 4b (Walker, Edwards, Bagcivan, & Bakitas, 2017). This goes hand in hand with an article by Reville & Foxwell (2014) saying that America, Australia, and few European countries place the highest category (4b) in palliative care service.…”

“…The United States of America has all the components in such assessment, including an advanced integrity for several nursing locations, the provision of comprehensive palliative service, the awareness and extensive knowledge of the people and healthcare staff regarding palliative care, limitless opioid access, policy and education on palliative care as well as national palliative nurses association (Walker et al, 2017). However, the one in the U.S. is not universally integrated to hospitals and communities; there are obstacles for palliative care access there (Walker, Edwards, Bagcivan, & Bakitas, 2017).…”

“…This is because the country, NGOs, healthcare staff, and volunteers, have come to deal for collaboration (Silbermann et al, 2012). This is strengthened by Walker et al, (2017), saying that in Turkey, the health insurance covers all check-up costs, from screening to cancer treatment. The implementation of community-based palliative cancer in the Middle East countries has been done even before it becomes a trend due to a robust relationship established in the family.…”

“…This is because they uphold traditional family structure, in which all members of a family will come to help when one is in such difficult place. This has become an intrinsic palliative tendency but does not reflect in the eyes of professional healthcare staff system (Walker et al, 2017).…”

Prevalence of cancer is estimated will increase in the next two decades. Therefore, there is a challenge for health provider to encounter treatment and caring for the patients. Especially, the cancer patients face several problems not only physical but also psychological, emotional, spiritual and social cultural aspects.This study explored the evidence-based practice on community-based palliative cancer care. Literature study is done by making a summary of published articles related to the question. The searching method used several electronic databases such as Google Scholar, Proquest, and PubMed. Articles under the keywords of “Palliative Cancer Care”, “Community”, and “Nursing” reach as much as 1.804. The inclusion criteria for this literature review were articles that have been peer-reviewed, are in full-text, in either English or Indonesian, and publication year from 2008 to 2018. Meanwhile, the exclusion criteria include those that do not follow a standardized structure of an article (consisting of Abstract, Introduction, Method, Result, Discussion, Implication, and Reference), are in the form of a review, and whose content does not answer research questions.Results: The United States of America is on the highest place regarding palliative care service, following by community-based palliative cancer implementation in Europe. Asian countries had been applying palliative care service, integrated with national health care system. In the Middle East countries, palliative care program ranks the lowest, but in implementation, they have discreetly performed community-based palliative care. In Africa, it is not the main focus in the field of health. Palliative care for cancer patients that is potential for development in Indonesia is that of family-based.Conclusion: Community-based palliative care is a variant of palliative treatment long applied and being developed in many countries in the world. In continents such as America and Europe, the implementation of palliative care ranks the highest place. In Indonesia, it is done partially and only available in hospitals or non-governmental organization. In the level of community, family-based palliative care can be developed by involving trained family members.
