Abstract
It is now known that breast cancer is the cancer that most affects a large number of women every year, who are forced to take a long and tiring path of care. This thesis reports the case of a patient with triple negative metastatic breast cancer with locally advanced rhabdomyosarcomatosa differentiation at the time of diagnosis. The aim of this thesis is to show how the role of the nurse in the care of a patient with breast cancer changes according to the evolution of the disease, highlighting the technical-practical preparation and the ability of the nurse to evaluate.These skills have made it possible to offer a type of personalised care which initially aimed at improving the patient's clinical condition but which, due to the evolution of the disease, led the nurse to take on another role, that of guaranteeing the dignity and well-being of the person in the terminal phase of his life. From this it emerges that the role of the nurse in oncology is extremely varied and complex, made not only of technical notions but also of relational skills.
