Cancer is the second reason of death in Turkey and in the world. Lung cancer is a very common disease in our country and it is the first cancer type leading death in male patients. According to official numbers, every year 30.000 new lung cancer patients show up but the number is thought to be reaching to 50,000 patients in reality.

In this scope, nurses, who do the follow up of the patients and who have important role in treatment process, have great responsibility. The nursing students from nursing schools and universities in our country graduate without having specific branching in their field. In the curriculum of high school nursing departments, there is not updated or innovative information for oncology nursing and about cancer and the education given is not satisfactory enough. However, oncology nursing practices in the EU member states are developed. Oncology nurses in Europe have specific trainings. Ethical approach of oncology nurses to the patients, their responsibilities and job definitions are defined according to Oncology Nursing Society (ONS). Nurses have great importance in the EU members regarding the care, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up processes in all cancer types. In this scope, the participants need to follow the diagnosis and treatment methods in lung cancer and nursing care practices, field-specific developments and to see on-spot the roles, approaches, education and equipment of oncology nurses in the EU level, and then to transfer the right and innovative methods to our country.
