Abstract

Objective: To carry out integrative investigations into the use of these mother cells in the treatment of skin cancer, with the aim of better understanding their effectiveness and clinical impact, in addition to exploring nursing actions in this process. Method: A systematic review of the literature was carried out using scientific articles published between 2019 and 2023, consulting databases such as Scielo and VHL, and selecting relevant studies on mother cells and skin cancer. Result: The review identified significant advances in research into mother cells in the treatment of skin cancer, highlighting therapeutic benefits, essential nursing practices and challenges in standardizing protocols and ethical questions. Conclusion: Mother cell therapies are promising, but the transition to clinical practice requires overcoming important challenges. Continued updating of healthcare professionals, especially oncology nurses, is crucial to effectively integrate these therapies.
