Abstract:
CANO/ACIO has long recognized the important role oncology nurses play in improving outcomes for cancer survivors. To ensure oncology nurses have easy access to the updated evidence, as a basis for their practice, CANO/ACIO undertook the important work of updating the CANO/ACIO self-learning modules on survivorship and creating several new ones. This article highlights the current gaps in care experienced by cancer survivors in the months and years after their cancer treatments are completed and the important contributions that nurses can have in improving the quality of survivorship care. It also provides an interactive approach to competency development using the newly revised and rereleased Pan-Canadian Survivorship Manual.

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...
