This narrative review synthesizes evidence from randomized and controlled studies evaluating MCP in adults with advanced cancer and discusses its clinical relevance within supportive and palliative care. Across studies, MCP demonstrated consistent improvements in meaning in life and spiritual well-being, with more modest effects on depressive symptoms and variable effects on anxiety and global quality of life.

Emotional and relational support was most frequently implemented, whereas informational and practical support was less common. Higher levels of care management implementation, valuing user-centered support, and routine family support yielded more active engagement in bereavement support.

Twenty-eight qualitative studies were included and synthesized using thematic synthesis, with confidence assessed via GRADE-CERQual. Five themes were identified: confrontation with mortality and existential shock; existential suffering and biographical disruption; meaning reconstruction and reorientation; transcendence, spirituality, and faith-based meaning; and psychological adaptation, resilience, and growth. Across diverse cultural contexts, cancer survivorship consistently involved mortality awareness and existential destabilization, followed by efforts to restore coherence and purpose.

We introduce the concept of dual illegibility to describe uncertainty both about what has been lost and whether that loss is socially recognised as legitimate.
