Advance care planning (ACP) is designed to ensure that patients lacking autonomous decision-making capacity receive medical services in accordance with their expectations and preferences. Individuals with advanced cancer are a crucial target for ACP implementation. However, the current practice of ACP in this group in China is suboptimal, demanding high-quality implementation evidence to strengthen ACP in the clinical practice of patients with advanced cancer. The existing literature can be summarized into 27 pieces of evidence across 7 dimensions, including initiation time, intervention content, intervention providers, intervention modalities, communication skills, outcome indicators, and environmental support. The aforementioned evidence could provide crucial support for improving ACP implementation for patients with advanced cancer. Subsequent research efforts should integrate patient preferences and explore the most suitable implementation strategies for ACP in the Chinese population with advanced cancer, considering diverse aspects such as traditional culture, ACP education and training, legislative support, and healthcare system refinement.
预立医疗照护计划(advance care planning，ACP)旨在确保丧失自主决策权的患者获得符合其期待和偏好的医疗服务。晚期癌症人群是ACP实施的关键人群，然而目前在中国的实践现状欠佳，亟需高质量的实施证据加强ACP在晚期癌症患者人群的临床实践。现有文献可汇总为干预时间、干预内容、干预人员、干预模式、沟通技巧、结局指标和环境支持7个维度的27条证据，为促进晚期癌症患者ACP实施提供了重要依据。后续研究需结合患者意愿，从传统文化、ACP宣教与培训、健全立法和医疗系统等多层面探索适合中国晚期癌症人群ACP的最佳实施策略。.
