Abstract
More than a quarter of the global population will be 65 or older by 2050, according to the most recent projections. By 2035, it is expected that there will be 14 million new cases of cancer worldwide; this figure accounts for about 60% of the estimated global cancer incidence (Hutchinson et al., 2019). With a focus on the time between diagnosis and death, quality of care offers a potential remedy for enhancing the quality of life of patients with chronic diseases and their loved ones. Of the estimated 40 million people worldwide, who could benefit from palliative care, only 5.6 million actually receive it. The rest of these people receive only standard treatment (Ayed et al., 2015).
