Summary
Clinical decision support (CDS) integrates genomic data for patient care recommendations. Oncology nurses must understand CDS to participate in its development and implementation for personalized cancer care.
Area of Science:
- Oncology Nursing
- Health Informatics
- Genomic Medicine
Background:
- Clinical decision support (CDS) is an emerging health information technology.
- Genomic data integration offers personalized cancer care opportunities.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide oncology nurses with an overview of CDS.
- To explore opportunities for genomic CDS interventions.
- To present My Cancer Genome as an exemplar of a novel CDS tool.
Main Methods:
- Review of published nursing and medical literature.
- Internet search for a relevant exemplar tool.
Main Results:
- Clinical decision support (CDS) can translate genomic knowledge into patient-specific recommendations at the point of care.
- My Cancer Genome serves as a pioneering personalized cancer decision support tool.
Conclusions:
- Oncology nurses are key stakeholders in CDS.
- Understanding CDS is crucial for nurses to engage in its development and implementation.
- Genomic CDS empowers nurses to enhance personalized cancer care.

Combining two or more treatment methods increases the life span of cancer patients while reducing damage to vital organs or tissue from the overuse of a single treatment. Combination therapy also targets different cancer-inducing pathways, thus reducing the chances of developing resistance to treatment.
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...
