Best Practices

PATIENT Education § Empower early symptom reporting § Address integrative medicine concerns § Address family planning concerns § “Post-treatment teaching”
  • Transition from oncology to primary care

25

26

Best Practices

PROVIDER Education § Risk assessment for side effects
  • Pre-existing autoimmune illness? Organ transplant?
  • Long-term steroid use
  • Medication reconciliation
§ Resources for irAE management
  • Published consensus guidelines
  • Continuing education workshops
Brahmer et al. JCO 2017. Puzanov et al. JITC 2017. NCCN Guidelines for the Management of Immunotherapy-Related Toxicities.

Takeaway Points

§ You will care for patients who ARE RECEIVING immunotherapy, or who HAVE

RECEIVED immunotherapy and are re-integrating into primary care.

§ Overall survival has improved in so many different cancers! Continued age-

appropriate cancer surveillance and HEALTH MAINTENANCE should continue.

§ Be willing to investigate unusual complaints. Immune-related adverse events can

be ATYPICAL and/or LATE.

§ Don’t hesitate to phone a friend. Current guidelines are expert consensus-driven

rather than evidence-based (for now).
