Resumen
[ES]El envejecimiento de la población y el incremento de la morbimortalidad asociada a enfermedades terminales como el cáncer, suponen una implicación mayor por parte del sistema sanitario y una búsqueda de nuevas técnicas y métodos de tratamiento que, al menos, consigan mejorar la calidad de vida del paciente, y valorar la dignidad de la persona hasta el último momento de su vida.
De igual modo, se debe prestar especial atención a las personas cercanas a los pacientes, pues es bastante duro y difícil, para las familias y cuidadores, llevar a cabo esta labor sin verse afectados emocionalmente.
Una de las técnicas que actualmente se está investigando y está en continuo desarrollo en el ámbito de los cuidados paliativos es la musicoterapia.
Se presenta un trabajo de revisión de la literatura especializada con objeto de fundamentar cómo este tipo de terapia puede repercutir en la calidad de vida de dichos individuos.

One of the techniques that nowadays is investigated and is in continuous development in the area of the palliative care is the music therapy. A review of the specialised literatura has been carried out to provide foundation about how this kind of therapy can have an effect on the quality of life of such individuals.
