Abstract
The oncology clinic is changing, with an increasing number of cancer therapies becoming available as formulations for subcutaneous (SC) injection. Using targeted therapies, such as alemtuzumab, bortezomib, rituximab or trastuzumab, via SC injection can be advantageous for patients, healthcare professionals, and healthcare systems. However, their use can also present challenges, and nurses have a unique opportunity to positively influence the integration of SC agents in the clinic. This article summarizes practical suggestions for optimal administration of SC targeted therapies, and provides pragmatic considerations for managing the change process related to their adoption.Entities:
