Objective: Describe the nurses' attributions to cervical câncer (CC), from its prevention to the moment of the already installed disease. Methods: This is a study of a qualitative and descriptive Literature Review that used the platforms Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS), Scientific Eletronic Library Online (Scielo), Google Scholar and booklets of the Ministry of Health. For selection criteria, scientific articles published between the years 2008 to 2018, in Portuguese language. In which 23 articles were selected that met the established inclusion methods, which allowed us to approach the role of nurses in recognizing the factors that influence (CC), primary and secondary prevention and treatment of the disease. Results: Cervical cancer develops when the cells lining the epithelium begin to change and multiply in a disorder that may compromise near or distant tissues, structures and organs. In Brazil, in the 2018/2019 biennium years, an estimated 16,370 cases, a risk of 15.43 per 100,000 Brazilian women. Conclusion: It is concluded that the nurse has a very relevant attribution in the whole process of cervical cancer since its prevention, early screening until its treatment.
