Cancer patients with comorbidity of dementia represent a group of highly vulnerable patients whose treatment and care are associated with many specific problems and dilemmas. Meeting the complex needs of these patients represents a great nursing challenge and place high demands on the knowledge and skills of the nurses. The paper focuses not only on theoretical knowledge about the specific features and problems of cancer patients with dementia but also the practical use of this knowledge in nursing care in all types of health care.

Keywords: comorbidity, dementia, nurse, nursing care, oncology.
