Summary:This is an integrative review that aimed to present the knowledge produced on the process standards of nursing care (SAE) through the Nursing Process (NP) for cancer patients. Data was collected from September to October, 2010 in the electronic databases Scopus, Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) and Scientific and Technical Literature of Latin America and the Caribbean (LILACS). Five articles were found. The results show that the majority of studies are descriptive and exploratory. Routinely, NP phases are not being applied as a tool and when they are, it is in an incomplete way. The conclusion of this review shows that the SAE through the NP for patients with oncologic conditions is not a common practice; however, its implementation is suggested as a way to provide holistic care with quality to individuals and their families.
