Essential genetic and genomic nursing competencies for the oncology nurse
1, National HumanGenome Research Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892, USA. jean.jenkins@nih.gov
Objectives:
To review the opportunities and possibilities for advancing oncology nursing competencies in genetic/genomics through the illustration of case scenarios in clinical care.
Data Sources:
Literature; research reports.
Conclusions:
Oncology nurses have the potential to influence whether or not cutting edge research discoveries are utilized at the bedside. Clinical integration of genetic/genomic information has the potential to optimize health outcomes and lengthen patient lives.
Implications For Nursing Practice:
Oncology nurses need to include genetics/genomics in their practice in order to impact quality patient care today and for the future.

Cancer-Critical Genes I: Proto-oncogenes
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
