The number of patients with advanced cancer is rapidly increasing, and the disease burden among those with low socioeconomic status (SES) has accordingly become a global concern. Low SES can adversely impact patients with advanced cancer. The purpose of this systematic review is to shed light on the life experiences of patients with advanced cancer with low SES to help provide targeted and effective strategies to improve their quality of life.
We will include the following English databases: Cochrane Library, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Database of Systematic Reviews, PsycINFO and OpenGrey, and the following Chinese databases: China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP Database for Chinese Technical Periodicals and Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform. A comprehensive search of qualitative studies on the experiences of patients with advanced cancer with low SES will be conducted from the above databases, with no age limit. Quality assessments of the studies will be independently performed by two reviewers using the JBI Critical Assessment Checklist, and any disagreements will be resolved through a discussion with a third reviewer. Relevant data will be extracted using the JBI standardised data extraction tools. The JBI meta-aggregation tool will be used to compare, analyse and summarise the original results. The reliability and credibility of the overall quality of the studies included will be evaluated using the JBI ConQual approach.
This study is based on existing public literature and therefore does not require a formal ethics review. The results of the study may be presented in peer-reviewed international journals and presented at scientific conferences.

晚期癌症患者的数量正在迅速增加，因此，社会经济地位（SES）较低的患者的疾病负担已成为全球关注的问题。低 SES 会对晚期癌症患者产生不利影响。本系统评价的目的是阐明 SES 较低的晚期癌症患者的生活体验，以帮助提供有针对性和有效的策略来提高他们的生活质量。
我们将纳入以下英文数据库：Cochrane 图书馆、护理与联合健康文献累积索引、PubMed、MEDLINE、Embase、Web of Science、JBI 系统评价数据库、PsycINFO 和 OpenGrey，以及以下中文数据库：中国国家知识基础设施、维普数据库和万方数据知识服务平台。将从上述数据库中对 SES 较低的晚期癌症患者的经验进行全面的定性研究检索，不设年龄限制。两名评审员将使用 JBI 关键评估清单独立对研究进行质量评估，如果存在分歧，则通过与第三名评审员讨论解决。将使用 JBI 标准化数据提取工具提取相关数据。使用 JBI 元聚合工具对原始结果进行比较、分析和总结。使用 JBI ConQual 方法评估纳入研究的整体质量的可靠性和可信度。
本研究基于现有的公共文献，因此不需要正式的伦理审查。研究结果可能会发表在同行评议的国际期刊上，并在科学会议上展示。
