The objective was to investigate the evidence about the communication in the transition from cancer patient to palliative care. An integrative review was carried out through the PICo strategy, whose guiding question was "What are the evidences about communication in the transition from the cancer patient to the palliative care? The databases were MEDLINE, LILACS and BDENF through the Virtual Health Library; Pubmed, Scopus and Web of Science. A total of 14 articles were published in the period 2014-2018. The thematic analysis classified two thematic categories: 1- Communication barriers in the transition to palliative care. 2- Strategies for effective communication in the transition to palliative care. The thematic categories discussed showed that communication in the transition to palliative care is still a difficult and complex time for health professionals, favoring communication barriers between the team-patient-family triad. However it is a strategic time to plan and redesign treatment goals, where strategies such as honest, brief and continuous communication are important for effective communication.
