Abstract: Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Education has a critical influence on the continuing development of clinical oncology nursing practice. Education is essential in oncology nursing, because there are new strategies in cancer care and as a result the role of nurses is expanding. In order to provide qualitative care and ensure patients' effective response to this care, nurses need special qualifications. Continuing education is essential for nurses working in the clinical setting of oncology nursing. There are many factors which contribute to this need. All nurses must cooperate at state and international level in order to promote oncology education, and meet the growing needs of their patients.
