Resumen	The Needs Assessment Tool for Palliative Care (NAPC) is a comprehensive, multidomain assessment framework designed to systematically identify unmet palliative and supportive care needs in patients with advanced illness and their families. Rather than a numerical scale, the NAPC functions as a structured clinical interview and resource allocation guide, helping palliative care teams deliver holistic, person-centered care by addressing physical, psychological, social, spiritual, and practical dimensions simultaneously.	The McGill Quality of Life Questionnaire (MQOL) is a 17-item, multidimensional self-report measure specifically developed for people with advanced cancer and other life-limiting illnesses. Created by Cohen, Mount, and colleagues at McGill University in 1995, the MQOL captures physical, functional, emotional, spiritual, and social dimensions of quality of life in a concise, patient-centered format. It has become a standard outcome measure in palliative care research, hospice quality improvement, and cancer centers internationally.
