Background Across the Caribbean, too many women are presenting with advanced breast cancer and dying with little or no access to palliative care. No comprehensive assessment of current capacity to deliver palliative care in the region exists, largely due to limited data. We assess the challenges in delivering palliative care for breast cancer patients in the Caribbean, highlighting the needs and experiences of low-income women through emblematic patient narratives. Recent Findings There is an urgent need to improve access to palliative care and pain relief throughout the region. Challenges include insufficient healthcare infrastructures to support cancer care, tremendous unmet need for palliative care, pervasive opiophobia resulting in limited access to opioids for pain relief, patients’ reluctance to engage with clinical care, and the widespread use of complementary and alternative medicines prior to the acceptance of conventional care. Summary There is an urgent need to improve access to palliative care and pain relief for cancer patients in the Caribbean. Strong regional collaboration, provider and patient education, improved access to opioids, and innovative models for palliative care that reflect the culture and resources available in the region have the potential to measurably improve palliative care delivery. . . . . .
