title: Clinical conduct and nursing quality of life in prostate cancer.
abstract: Recent advances in cancer therapy and supportive care have increased patient survival and improved quality of life. These advances have led to an increase in the responsibilities of nurses caring for these patients. Knowledge of new drugs, mode of action, expected side effects, and benefits, including effects on QOL, are essential. Nurses are vital to the safety and the quality of life that patients may experience while participating in clinical trials.
