To explore any possible interventions between cancer patients, nurses in the SDM process need to be up to data on the current literature.

Fourteen studies that were the best fit with the inclusion criteria were included to create this narrative review. The conclusion was that cancer nurses seemed to be relevant in cancer teams to support patients in their SDM processes.
