What is the Role of Nurses in Managing These Cancers?
Nurses play a crucial role in the care of patients with breast and ovarian cancers:
Patient Education: Providing information about the disease, treatment options, and side effects. Emotional support: Offering counseling and emotional support to patients and their families. Symptom management: Helping manage side effects and symptoms of both the disease and its treatment. Coordination of care: Working with a multidisciplinary team to ensure comprehensive care. Follow-up care: Monitoring patients post-treatment for recurrence and managing long-term side effects.
