Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths in 2020. This is due to many risk factors such as aging society, alcohol abuse, smoking, obesity, and lack of physical activity. It is essential to deliver high-quality nursing care, from prevention and screening to end-of-life care. As research and scientific discoveries are incorporated into cancer treatment, nurses working in the oncology field should be well educated and be prepared to play an integral role in delivering complex treatment regimens and targeted cellular therapies. Therefore, focusing on specialized oncology nursing practice through advanced education will ensure successful care delivery.
