Abstract: This is a study aimed at discussing the nursing consultation for the colpocytological exam. The methodological approach was qualitative, and the method used was literature review. Data collection was carried out through a systematic search for articles and materials published by the Ministry of Health and in the Scielo database, following the inclusion criteria. The results indicate that the exam should be performed annually in all women aged 25 to 64, whether sexually active or not. The control of this type of cancer relies on the early detection of cellular alterations found in the colpocytological exam. Nursing consultation plays a significant role in the control of cervical cancer. The final considerations reaffirm that the timing and quality of the nursing consultation should be respected, that women should be welcomed from their arrival until their follow-up, and that the delivery of results should be equally important as the initial consultation. Therefore, there are many challenges in controlling cervical cancer, but they can be improved with the commitment of frontline professionals, particularly nursing, managers, and funding for the implementation of women's public health policies.
