The research method undertaken is a systematic literature review, the database used for surveying publications was the database of journals of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel. As inclusion criteria, publications in Portuguese were chosen, available in full and published between 2010 and 2019. Among the results and discussions, it was possible to conclude that the impacts of cancer diagnosis are significant on family dynamics, therefore, it is essential that the family also becomes an object of care in the health care network, as receiving this care from health professionals, it can consolidate itself as a fundamental source of support and participation in the treatment of cancer patients.
