Course Overview

The conference information has been sent to all confirmed attendees. If you have not received this email, please contact us at [email protected]

Care of adult patients with hematologic or oncologic malignancies is increasingly complex. Hospice and palliative care clinicians are asked to care for them earlier in the course of care, based on evidence that early palliative care improves survival, symptoms, mood, cost, and patient and caregiver satisfaction. To ensure success of upstream involvement, clinicians must be equipped to competently care for these patients and “speak the language” of the hematologist/oncologist and radiation oncologist, particularly in the outpatient setting.

 

This session will provide clinicians the essentials needed to approach the care of these patients, including; terminology, systemic treatment options (chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, CAR-T cell therapy), prognostic uncertainty, radiotherapy, expected side effects of treatments, hematologic malignancies, models of implementation and navigating relationships with hematologists/oncologists. The session will target attendees’ specific needs and questions, with real-time adjustment of the curriculum to fulfill their goals and provide appropriate resources. Upon completion of this activity, HPC clinicians will have the tools necessary to develop an approach to the care of patients with hematologic or oncologic malignancies along the continuum of cancer care.
