Resumo: Introduction: In 2018, childhood cancer in Brazil, according to an INCA estimate, represented 12,500 new cases of cancer and 2,704 deaths. Oral chemotherapy is increasingly used, consisting mainly of reducing hospitalization costs and the route of administration, avoiding the need to use the intravenous route. The support of family, friends and caregivers, as well as pharmaceutical guidance are very important so that the onco-pediatric patient can have a good adherence to oral drug therapy. This study aimed to promote a bibliographic review of the literature in order to identify the main problems related to adherence to oral drug therapy in onco-pediatric patients and pharmaceutical care in guiding the use of drugs in oral therapy. Review: This research was carried out through the review of scientific articles in the databases of electronic portals SciELO, Google Scholar, PubMed related to adherence to oral drug therapy, onco-pediatric patients and pharmaceutical guidance. For this, the keywords were used: “adherence to oral medication”, “pediatric cancer”, “pharmaceutical guidance” and their equivalents in a foreign language (English), which resulted in a total listing of 16 articles. Discussion and final considerations: Adherence to oral therapy is one of the forms of treatment of the disease, some factors can influence adherence, such as: the patient's behavior, socio-demographic factors such as age, education and level of knowledge of children, especially in the early stages of life, guidance and management in the care of pediatric onco patients is necessary.
