RESUMEN
Anticancer medicines evolve in terms of their mode of action as well as their galenics. The advent of oral therapies has multiple benefits such as the possibility of taking the treatments at home. However, what are the implications with regard to compliance, the management of side effects and the community-hospital relationship? Elderly patients, often isolated, taking several medicines and frail, are disorientated faced with all these medications and their side effects. A study was undertaken to evaluate the benefit of visits by private practice nurses to support patients taking oral cancer drugs.
