Editorial: The changing landscape in cancer care: Call for action by oncology nurses

Abstract

As I write this editorial, I am just on my way home from attending the annual conference of the American Psychosocial Oncology Society Conference (APOS 2024). This conference offers an excellent sense of the emerging trends in psychosocial oncology and cancer patient care; and these trends usually have implications for oncology nurses. This year was no exception. There were several trends I heard about throughout various presentations that have clear implications for oncology nurses. The significance of these trends makes them calls for action on the part of oncology nurses both individually and collectively.
