Cancer is the leading cause of death in Singapore since the early 1980s and has remained so since then, accounting for 29.7% of deaths in 2015. Rapid technological advancements in the treatment of cancer and the development of the specialty of radiation and medical oncology demanded nurses with the knowledge and skills to provide care and support to cancer patients and their families. The evolvement of oncology nursing as a specialty in Singapore mirrors many countries due to the increase in cancer incidences as well as the development of medical specialty in the treatment of cancer. This paper traces the development of oncology nursing as a clinical specialty in Singapore. The historical perspective maps up the factors that caused oncology nursing to develop as a specialty within nursing practice. As cancer continues to be the leading cause of mortality for many years to come in Singapore and cancer care continues to evolve, the roles of oncology nurses will continue to unfold and expand as part of an interdisciplinary team in the fight against cancer.
自20世纪80年代初以来，癌症一直是新加坡的主要死因，此后一直如此，2015年占死亡人数的29.7%。癌症治疗技术的迅速进步以及放射肿瘤学和医学肿瘤学专业的发展，要求护士具备为癌症患者及其家属提供护理和支持的知识与技能。由于癌症发病率的上升以及癌症治疗医学专业的发展，新加坡肿瘤护理作为一门专业的发展历程与许多国家相似。本文追溯了新加坡肿瘤护理作为临床专业的发展历程。历史视角梳理了促使肿瘤护理在护理实践中发展成为一门专业的因素。鉴于癌症在未来许多年仍将是新加坡的主要死因，且癌症护理不断发展，肿瘤护士作为抗击癌症跨学科团队的一部分，其角色将不断演变和扩展。
