Patients with metastatic disease rely on their oncology navigator to help meet their treatment needs, psychosocial needs, family needs, and individual needs.
Patients are living longer and thriving with metastatic disease, but there are still a lot of complications and concerns that need to be addressed for this patient population.
Andi Dwyer, BS, explains how oncology navigators and their patients need to be aware of their risks of cancer to know how to best move ahead with cancer screenings.
As we begin to move forward from the COVID-19 pandemic, there are long-term consequences of the delay in cancer screenings that need to be addressed immediately.
Oncology navigators can help their patients feel comfortable to come in for cancer screenings by educating them and empowering them with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions.
