Mapping Integrative Decision-Making Frameworks in Advanced Cancer Care: A Scoping Review of Diagnostic, Supportive-Care, and Therapeutic Integration

Background/Objectives: Decision-making in advanced cancer care is intertwined with diagnostic profiling, prognostic communication, supportive care, and anticancer treatment selection. An author-developed D-S-T × B/C/E conceptual mapping scaffold—three decision/action domains (Diagnosis, Supportive care, Therapy) and three evaluative dimensions (Biological, Clinical, Existential)—was used to organise the literature, to identify coverage gaps and recurring framework categories, and, as a secondary conceptual synthesis objective, to derive a candidate integrative framework.
