- Abstract
Nursing care for the elderly patient with oncological pathology goes far beyond the process of care, in general the professional in the production of care brings with it the proposal of humanizing the process of developing actions and health services, so as to provide comfort not only for the patient, but also for his family members. This is a systematic literature review, developed on the basis of scientific articles and nursing journals published in the period from 2011 to 2022, in the database SCIELO, MEDLINE, GOOGLE ACADÊMICO and LILACS. The descriptive study, with a qualitative approach, aimed to evaluate the nurse's assistance to elderly cancer patients in the terminal phase. It is observed that the nurse's assistance to the oncology patient and the family consists in allowing everyone to verbalize their feelings and value them, identify potentially problematic areas, help patients and family members to identify sources of help, information and search for solutions to the problems, allow decisions on the most appropriate treatment for each type of case.
