Introduction: CA is a worldwide public health problem, which indiscriminately affects citizens without age, sex and race restrictions. The number of illnesses and deaths from this disease has multiplied over the years, and this fact was caused by multiple causes. When the therapeutic processes do not present proper results in the face of the evolution of the disease, so the situation becomes irreversible, in this context, the multidisciplinary health team should provide PC. Objective: This research was a literary review that exposed competent palliative care to Occupational Therapy in approaching people in a terminal ontological state and its application in line with the spirituality of the individual. Methodology: This is a literature review built from articles collected from online databases, specifically INCA, SCIELO, PUBMED and Google School. Articles from the years 2016 to 2022 were used, in total 24 articles were used for the production of this study. Results and Discussion: CA is one of the major causes of death globally, especially breast and prostate carcinomas. It happens that 61.2% of positive diagnoses of breast cancer occur when the pathology is in an advanced state. Despite prostatic carcinoma, despite being a common pathology, it corroborates a high rate of deaths, resulting from late diagnoses of the same due to reasons of preconception of men's ideologies. Conclusion: Through this research, it was found that the inherent spiritual universe of each individual is too important in the processes of promoting quality of life.
