Radiation therapy--implications for home care.
Home care professionals need to become more knowledgeable about radiation therapy in both the home and hospice setting. The knowledge will assist them to design a plan of care in collaboration with the radiation oncology team, patient, and family, thus meeting the patient's needs both during and after a course of treatment.
