    Objective: Systematize evidence on the effectiveness of palliative care to improve the quality of life in children with cancer. MATERIAL AND METHOD: The study is a systematic observational and retrospective review of articles with full text, in which their grade or quality of evidence was identified according to the Grade System. The population was made up of 10 articles obtained from the following databases in Pubmed, Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, Dialnet, Scielo, and Lilacs search engines. Of which 90% (9/10) correspond to systematic reviews and 10% (1/10) to literature reviews, of these 60% (6/10) correspond to the United States, 10% to the United Kingdom ( 1/10), Germany 10% (1/10), Canada 10% (1/10), and Colombia 10% (1/10). Results: Of the 10 articles reviewed, 100% demonstrate that palliative care is effective in improving the quality of life in children with cancer. Conclusions: 100% of the articles show that palliative care is effective in improving the quality of life in children with cancer; helping in the prevention and relief of pain, anguish, reducing stress levels, anxiety, and fear associated with the disease; raising their quality of life, both for the physical, emotional and spiritual well-being of the child and their family.
