[Cancer nursing on tumor boards]
1Frauenklinik, Ubbo-Emmius-Klinik Aurich, Aurich, Deutschland.
Background:
The increasingly complex treatment options for oncological diseases with multimodal treatment strategies transcend the boundaries of a single discipline and require multidisciplinary cooperation in order to ensure guideline-based and patient-oriented care.
Material And Methods:
The implementation of an effective tumour board is required in the goals of the National Cancer Plan of the Federal Ministry of Health and the certification guidelines of the German Cancer Society.
Results:
In Germany, specialist competence in the field of oncological nursing has so far rarely been integrated.
Conclusion:
The Konferenz Onkologischer Kranken- und Kinderkrankenpflege (KOK), a working group of Section B in the German Cancer Society, is working intensively on strengthening the role of oncological nursing so that oncological nurses and advanced practice nurses specialising in oncology, as an integral part of the multidisciplinary team, can contribute valuable nursing aspects, taking into account the individual patient perspective, and thus improve the quality of oncological care.

However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

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.
