The identified themes warrant a tailored approach to ACP. With regard to person-related factors, the existing body of knowledge on health literacy, disparities and shared decision-making should be used when designing strategies to improve ACP uptake. Further, our findings regarding "comprehension and awareness" suggest that ACP should not be limited to a narrow process without acknowledging the complexity surrounding personalised cancer care near the EOL.
