• Abstract:

  Cancer or neoplasm are words used to represent malignant tumors located in different tissues and regions of the body. It represents an important cause of illness and death in Brazil, making it a public health problem. In this sense, given the complexity of care in the field of oncology, we observe that pharmaceutical care must always be focused on offering medications that eliminate or, at least, minimize pain. In view of this, it is up to the pharmaceutical professional to know how to deal with the suffering, anguish and fears that can arise in various situations that involve the practice of caring for an oncological patient. The present study presents a bibliographical research that aims to deal with the complexity and importance of Pharmaceutical Care for cancer patients. The methodology used in this present study is characterized by a bibliographic research, of a qualitative nature, carried out through articles, periodicals and specialized websites regarding the chosen theme.
