Abstract: Introduction: Cancer is defined as a chronic, non-transmissible pathology, characterized by the abnormal growth of cells, which divide uncontrollably and can invade organs, tissues, and other parts of the body. Oncological emergencies are acute conditions, caused by cancer or its treatment, requiring rapid intervention to avoid permanent and severe damage such as death. Objective: Discuss the importance of nurses' actions in the face of major oncological emergencies. Method: This is an integrative review of the literature. After searching for articles in the databases: Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO) and Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), 15 articles were selected that met the established criteria. Results: The study showed that numerous patients with neoplasms manifest at least one emergency in the course of the disease and treatment, with the main oncological emergencies classified as hematological, metabolic, urological, neurological, cardiovascular, infectious complications and side effects arising from the administration of chemotherapy drugs. Therefore, it is observed that due to the increase in cases and deaths resulting from cancer, it is essential that nurses know how to identify an oncological emergency situation and thus provide a nursing intervention according to the emergency presented by the client. Conclusion: Therefore, it is extremely important that oncologist nurses are prepared to provide quality care, based on technical-scientific knowledge, veracity of information, care, empathy and affection, with the aim of providing a better quality of life. to these patients.
