Target Audience
Nurses and nurse practitioners involved in the care of patients with hematologic malignancies.
Description
Nurses from three cancer centers discuss the nurse's role in preparing patients and caregivers for the CAR T-cell treatment process, assessment, monitoring for and managing side effects, and communication with the patient's community healthcare team to transition patient care back. Following a patient from initial treatment discussion, participants will be able to provide patient care for the case, in this interactive session. With CAR T-cell therapy and follow-up care expanding beyond the major centers, nurses are essential members of the treatment team.

At the conclusion of this program, participants will be able to:
- Provide an overview of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy and the blood cancers and solid tumors under study for treatment
- Explain the nurse's role in assessment, monitoring for and managing side effects of treatment
- Describe the nurse's role in preparing patients and family members about the CART process and potential side effects of treatment
- Address the need for communication with a patient’s community oncologist and healthcare team to transition care after CAR T-cell therapy
- Identify resources for the nurse, social worker and other HCPs to educate and support patients and caregivers
