Management of bone health in patients with cancer: a survey of specialist nurses.
Summary of "Management of bone health in patients with cancer: a survey of specialist nurses."
Patients with cancer can experience bone metastases and/or cancer treatment-induced bone loss (CTIBL), and the resulting bone complications place burdens on patients and healthcare provision. Management of bone complications is becoming increasingly important as cancer survival rates improve. Advances in specialist oncology nursing practice benefit patients through better management of their bone health, which may improve quality of life and survival.
