Abstract This study deals with nursing care in oncologic emergencies. The aim is to highlight the knowledge about nursing care to people living with neoplasms and who are in an oncologic emergency situation. This is an integrative review with the following guiding question: how does nursing care take place in an oncologic emergency, bearing in mind the enhancement of care? The search of the publications was performed in the LILACS, PUBMED and BVS databases. Concerning the inclusion criteria, we selected papers published between 2007 and 2016, using the following descriptors: Emergency Nursing, Nursing Care and Neoplasms. The knowledge evidenced in the selected publications proved to be reduced. Nevertheless, among the nursing papers related to oncologic emergencies, most were limited to describing specific nursing interventions for each situation, such as observing the patient, favoring of the physical comfort, guidance to the patient and to their family members. In conclusion, there is a need for greater encouragement for this field of research, so that the nurses are increasingly trained and based on scientific principles, thus achieving a good performance in their function. Keywords: Emergency Nursing; Nursing Care; Neoplasms.
