Unlocking the clinical mysteries of supportive care: a focus on chemotherapy-induced neutropenia, anemia, and mucositis.
This program provided an overview of the nurse's role in risk assessment and supportive care for patients with hematologic toxicities, such as neutropenia, anemia, constipation, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, anxiety, and depression. Speakers discussed the use of growth factors to avoid dose reductions or delays in chemotherapy treatment, especially patients with potentially curable tumor types.
