Background

Malignancies are the second most common cause of morbidity in the western world. Whether in an acute care hospital, specialized oncology hospital, or in outpatient care, treating patients with malignant diseases is complex and generally handled by multidisciplinary teams, with the nursing teams having a major role in all aspects of treatment. The theoretical knowledge and oncology treatment modalities are updated frequently and as such, nurses are expected to provide professional and comprehensive care to these patients, based on up-to-date information.

Main Objectives

To promote theoretical and practical knowledge from diagnosis to treatment and monitoring of oncology patients.

To improve nursing intervention skills such as providing information, training, counseling, accompaniment and support, symptom management, treatment methods, rehabilitation, and palliative care.
