Cancer Care and Education in the Era of Precision Oncology

In the era of precision oncology, nurses and advanced practice providers (APPs) do far more than manage chemotherapy or monitor adverse effects (AEs). Today’s cancer care requires a strong understanding of genetics and genomics, as these fields now drive how cancers are detected, treated, and even prevented. Genomic testing is routinely used to identify inherited cancer risks, guide screening strategies, and match patients with targeted therapies.
