Interdisciplinary Management of Acute Leukemia Across the Continuum of Care

摘要

Objective: To describe the interdisciplinary management of acute leukemias across the continuum of care. Data Source: Literature review and experiential knowledge.Conclusion: Acute leukemia, including acute myelogenous leukemia, acute promyelocytic leukemia, and acute lymphoblastic leukemia, represent a heterogeneous group of hematologic malignancies with complex diagnostic requirements that drive risk-adapted treatment selection. Involvement of clinicians from a variety of specialties and disciplines is required to ensure safe and effective treatment, mitigate adverse events, and maintain or improve quality of life. Patient-centered communication, shared decision-making, and interdisciplinary communication are integral to patient outcomes.Implications for Nursing Practice: Oncology clinicians play a primary role in coordinating the interdisciplinary team and navigating the patient and caregiver experience across the acute leukemia continuum.
