Pharmaceutical care must define and outline safe and efficient methods with the aim of mitigating adverse effects. Objective: Discuss improvements in the oncology sector through bibliographical research and contributions of pharmaceutical care to patients.

For research, the online electronic database published as Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo), PUBMED, Virtual Health Library (VHL) was used. The inclusion criteria were texts in Portuguese and English, complete and appropriate to the proposed theme. Results: 21 scientific articles were analyzed which address the contributions to pharmaceutical care for cancer patients and the legal aspects of this professional role, pointing to positive results regarding humanized and individualized care, better adherence to treatment, reduced costs with hospital supplies, relevance nutritional status and cancer pain prevention protocols.
