Objective: To describe the role of nurses in pregnant women with cancer. Method: This is a literature review through scientific publications extracted from LILACS, SCIELO and VHL databases, through the following DECS descriptors: Neoplasms; Pregnancy; Nursing education; Nursing Care; Oncology Nursing. The inclusion criteria were materials published between 2015 and 2020, written in Portuguese and  addressing  the  theme  of  the  research. Exclusion criteria were: materials published before 2015, written in another language and leaking the subject. Results: We analyzed 14 were selected because they met the inclusion criteria previously established in the methodology. Conclusion: Nurses should pay special attention to pregnant women, being aware of any change detected in this period because, in many cases, prenatal care is the only contact that a woman of reproductive age has with the health service. It is of fundamental importance that nursing professionals are always up to date on cancer, considering that it still remains one of the great villains involved in death among women. In addition, nurses, inserted in care directed to women, at all levels of care, need to implement strategies that intensify actions for prevention and early detection of cancer, especially during pregnancy.
