Sommario/riassunto

The Oncology Nursing Society's Chemotherapy and Immunotherapy Guidelines and Recommendations for Practice (second edition) provides nurses with the tools to understand how medications are used in cancer treatment, the effect of medication-related toxicities, and evidence-based recommendations to manage and treat these toxicities. This edition features many new cancer therapies approved since the 2019 publication. Extensive drug tables provide nurses with categorical



drug information based on treatment type and tips for managing patients receiving these treatments.
