Abstract
Cancer is a fatal disease that interrupts human life unexpectedly. It is known as the most common reason for death following the deaths from cardiac disorders.

In the literatüre, the expression of a fatal disease has been termed as “breaking bad news”.

Generally, the experience and personality of the reporting nurse impress the informing approach. When we evaluate the explanation of the diagnosis, treatment, and progression of the disease to the patient, then we could determine whether our style of expression and our manner in order to meet the needs of the patient. Thus, this execute us the importance of education in communication skills. In this review, the ideal framework for reporting the process of telling the truth in cancer patients and nursing approach.
