Nursing Considerations for Patients Treated with Targeted Therapies

Abstract

Delivery of personalized, effective therapy to patients with metastatic lung cancer with an identified driver mutation can be challenging and rewarding. Nurses can make significant impacts in the management of these complex patients through access to therapy, education, telephone triage, interventions to improve adherence and persistence, and care coordination/navigation. A multidisciplinary team approach may improve patient quality of life and survival.
