Supporting the Family Caregiver
The role of the treatment team in supporting the family caregiver. What you will learn from this module: Learn the physical and emotional needs of the caregiver managing the patient at home. Understand the stress and challenges loved ones face while caregiving. Realize that oftentimes the oncologist’s focus is solely on the patient and not on the loved one who is caregiving. Understand that a caregiver for a patient might be someone outside of the family- like a close friend. This can be due to the lack of family members, dysfunctional family dynamics, or ages of family members (young and old).
Lessons Learned from Your Patient's Family After Their Loved One Has Died
Our time spent with patients and their families should not end with the transfer of the patient to hospice care. The patient may even resist such a transfer, feeling abandoned by their medical oncology team. Treatment for treatment’s sake is really bad medical care. Doing an effective job of preparing the patient and family for end of life needs to be the ultimate goal as treatments begin to no longer work. Due to having no contact with families after the patients have died results in losing teaching moments for the team that provided her breast cancer treatment. There is great value in incorporating the family’s needs and understanding into the treatment planning process from the beginning so they are better prepared at the end of her life and beyond.
The Value and Importance of Not Postponing Joy
Educating your advanced cancer patients about the value and importance of not postponing joy. There is a tendency to avoid discussing the future, too far in advance, with your patients with advanced disease. The sooner we bring up the topic of not postponing joy, the better however. Patients may even say that they are planning on a family vacation to Disney World in 2 years. Your thoughts immediately go to estimating when she will be likely too ill to go but may not be verbalizing this to her. You don’t want to take away hope and burst that bubble. It however isn’t fair to the patient to be assuming that no response from you regarding such an announcement, or worse, saying that this sounds great, is doing her an injustice. Additionally, though she may still be living in two years and technically able to go to Disney World, she may very well be spending her time in the hotel room and not enjoying herself and her children/grandchildren doing park activities. Her goal wasn’t to be in a bed too weak to partake of this important family adventure. This is why a discussion about “Don’t Postpone Joy” is so important. It fits for many clinical settings too.
Recognizing the Profound Impact on Quality of Life: Emerging Therapy Options for Patients with Myelofibrosis
In this combined enduring and live ONS chapter meeting activity, Recognizing the Profound Impact on Quality of Life: Emerging Therapy Options for Patients with Myelofibrosis, learn from expert faculty to effectively identify how JAK inhibitors and emerging treatments for myelofibrosis (MF) optimize clinical outcomes by improving overall patient quality of life (QOL). Learners will first participate in an enduring online program on the following topics: patient risk and drug mechanisms of action for effective treatment and management, gaps in MF care that influence patient QOL, disease- and treatment-related adverse events, trust with patients to improve outcomes and QOL, shared decision-making and the unique role of multidisciplinary teams. After completion of the enduring program, learners will have the opportunity to network with expert faculty at select live ONS chapter meetings at which time they will discuss various case studies regarding treatment selection and patient QOL. Learners will also participate in discussion questions and have time for one-on-one interaction with faculty and others nursing professionals.
Keeping Up with CAR T-cell Therapy: A Case-based Challenge of CART in NHL + MM

Taking a Team Approach: Community-based Practices at the Forefront of NHL and HL Care
In this third episode, “Taking a Team Approach: Community-based Practices at the Forefront of NHL and HL Care,” from the 4-part series Med Table Talk, “The Power of the Community: Translating Innovations into Care in NHL and HL,” join expert faculty and special guest, Caitlin Murphy, DNP to discuss community-based practices for the treatment of NHL and HL. This episode will focus on how to best evaluate patients for and increase participation in clinical trials. Additional conversations will revolve around assessing patient quality of life, recognizing social determinants of health that impact patient care, and recognizing healthcare barriers and inequities in your own patient population. This episode will conclude with a conversation about misperceptions for CAR T-cell therapy and how to best coordinate care for patients receiving either CAR T-cell therapy or bispecific antibody therapy.
Build Your Own Case Study | From Evidence to Practice: Enhancing T2D Outcomes with Informed Approaches on Obesity
The tie between type 2 diabetes (T2D) and overweight/obesity is a significant global public health issue, supported by decades of extensive research. Despite formal clinical guidelines recommendations in addressing both diseases, the initiation or intensification of therapies that improve glycemic control and achieve weight reduction targets are slowly adopted into clinical practice, particularly for patients with T2D. Given the overlap of these two conditions, it is imperative that healthcare providers worldwide align clinical practice with evidence-based guidelines and the latest clinical findings using newer agents to treat both diseases.
Metastatic Breast Cancer Retreats: Value to the Patient and Your Multidisciplinary Team
Why Your Patients Should Attend a Metastatic Breast Cancer Retreat and the Value it also provides to you and your multi-disciplinary team. This video will demonstrate some of the activities that take place at a MBC retreat and the lessons learned from them.
Understanding the Impact of Weight on T2D Outcomes
Healthcare providers (HCPs) encounter significant challenges when treating patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). HCPs should be cognizant of when to change or intensify treatment and be aware of options that are non-optimal. As such, HCPs need to be equipped with current professional guidelines, the latest clinical evidence on new and emerging therapies for T2D, and strategies for engaging patients in shared decision-making to effectively prioritize weight management and promote comprehensive T2D care.
Integrating Novel Therapies in Hemophilia in the Midst of Bridging Health Inequities
As the treatment armamentarium for patients with hemophilia continues to expand, there is an urgent need for healthcare providers to stay up-to-date on the latest advances so that they are prepared to integrate them into clinical practice. To bridge this gap, this interactive educational activity will provide a review of the science surrounding new and emerging hemophilia treatments and their mechanisms of action; recent safety and efficacy data from key clinical trials; and novel dosing strategies to mitigate adverse events. Engaging case-based discussions and insights on addressing common patient barriers and clinical challenges will be explored by expert faculty, including a guest spotlight offering the early perspective.  Thus, this educational initiative is designed to equip providers with the necessary tools to effectively navigate new and novel therapies, overcome patient-level barriers, and optimize adherence for improved patient outcomes.
The Importance of Being Honest
Of everything we do for our patients, the most important thing we can give them is honesty. What you will learn from this module: Learn that being honest with patients about their disease and its prognosis is very important for patients to know so they can plan out the remainder of their lives. Honesty doesn’t take away hope; it helps the patient move through phases of hope. 50% of the time, doctors do not disclose the patients’ actual prognosis. Patients do not understand or know the difference between palliative chemotherapy and active chemotherapy treatments, unless they are told.  Teaching patients to be optimistic for as long as it is realistic, while having an end of life plan in place should be our mantra. Avoidance of honesty may be linked to an oncologist’s feelings of believing they have failed the patient by not being able to save or sustain their life.
