With their expertise in clinical skills and medication management, oncology pharmacists are an integral part of that interdisciplinary team.
Oncology pharmacists play a critical role in comprehensive care by guiding drug therapy decisions, managing symptoms and side effects, preventing adverse effects, determining off-label treatment options and educating patients and caregivers.
