Palliative care is a specialty focused on improving the quality of life for patients with serious illnesses through symptom management and emotional/spiritual support. Despite its documented benefits, it remains largely underutilized among head and neck cancer patients, especially those in urban environments. This thesis reviews obstacles to accessing care in these environments and proposes practical solutions to enhance palliative care accessibility and effectiveness. Disparities in the access and utilization of palliative care are largely influenced by socio-economic status, cultural discrepancies, and healthcare infrastructure, with limited patient awareness further impacting its use. Addressing these challenges requires a comprehensive strategy that includes policy reform, educational outreach, and localized community interventions. Such approaches should be culturally sensitive and tailored to local needs to bridge the gap between medical services and community expectations. By working with patients to recognize palliative care as an integral part of comprehensive cancer care, rather than merely an end-of-life option, we can improve the quality of life for patients with head and neck cancer.
