Sumario:This study aimed to identify the approach to oncological palliative care in the care of elderly people undergoing hospitalization, based on banks of theses and dissertations. This is a scoping review of theses and dissertations published in the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations and in the journals of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel. The following search descriptors were used: palliative care, oncology, hospital and elderly person. The selection used some inclusion and exclusion criteria. In the literature analyzed, it was observed that the main symptom reported among elderly people undergoing oncological palliative care in the hospital context was pain. Pain control is the most prevalent conduct of the multidisciplinary team. The need for studies dedicated to researching the approach to oncological palliative care in the care of elderly people is highlighted, including its specificities, potentialities and limitations.
