摘要：

The discipline of palliative care is growing rapidly in the United States but, as in many other areas of medical care, multiple barriers exist to providing such care to low-income patients with end-stage cancer and other diseases. Reports vary with regard to definition and scope of these and other barriers. This article briefly reports a pilot study of perceived barriers to palliative care and related issues in an urban cancer clinic, reviews the current literature, and suggest ways to identify and overcome such barriers in low-income, patients with cancer.
