Despite its benefits, PC is underutilized among patients with hematologic malignancies (HMs), particularly among Black patients, who face higher symptom burdens and lower survival rates compared to White patients. The purpose of this review was to identify and describe what is known about PC use among Black HM patients in the United States.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S1478951525000471_sec2b\">\n\t    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>This review was conducted using the Joanna Briggs Institute approach for scoping reviews and included a search of the databases MEDLINE (PubMed), Embase (Elsevier), Scopus and Web of Science (Clarivate). The search was developed and conducted by a professional medical librarian in consultation with the author team and focused on keywords such as Black\/African American patients, HM, and PC. Articles were screened and selected based on predefined inclusion criteria and carried out using Covidence software for systematic review management.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S1478951525000471_sec3c\">\n\t    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>Seven publications were included in the final sample and most used quantitative methods and data from large national databases such as the National Cancer Database. Four of the studies reported that Black patients with HM were less likely to receive or use PC compared to White patients. Access to PC was associated with better outcomes, such as lower hospital charges and a reduced likelihood of dying within 30\u00a0days of initiating palliative radiotherapy.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S1478951525000471_sec4d\">\n\t    <jats:title>Significance of the results<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>This scoping review highlights ongoing inequities in the use of PC among Black patients with HM which mirrors trends in patients with solid cancers. Future studies should be conducted to understand the determinants of these disparities and to also build testable interventions to improve PC use within this underserved population.<\/jats:p>\n\t
