MEK Inhibitors in Neurofibromatosis Type 1: Nursing Contributions to NF1-PN Management
Manage episode 509537548 series 2870185
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) treatment options and management strategies are evolving, and the multiplicity of clinical manifestations, both near- and long-term, makes diagnosis and management of the disease complex. The development of plexiform neurofibromas (PNs) further negatively impacts patients’ clinical outcomes and quality of life. These challenges necessitate an integrated, longitudinal management approach that encompasses the totality of the interprofessional, multidisciplinary team of clinicians in pediatric and adult care settings.
In this CEC Oncology live, case-based symposium, expert faculty will discuss key characteristics of clinical presentation and disease advancement over a lifespan; review patient and caregiver education needs on the integration of MEK inhibitors in the management of NF1-associated PNs; and explore the role of nurses in comprehensive care plans, including disease monitoring, treatment personalization, toxicity management, and transitioning care of patients with NF1 across their lifespan.
