Controversies in
Anemia Management
How well does the oncology nursing audience understand the latest issues
and controversies in anemia management? A nationally recognized thought
leader will review the most pressing topics as they relate to CRA, including
flexible dosing schedules of erythropoietic agents, appropriate use of
concomitant iron, prevention and management of anemia in patients
undergoing surgery followed by chemotherapy, and anemia prevention and
management in patients with hematologic malignancies. This presentation will
be followed by a continuing education game show program titled Deal or No
Deal, which will test participants’ understanding of CRA. This latest craze in
game shows has never been played in such a setting before, so participants
are in for a one-of-a-kind type of learning experience. The winning team will
have the opportunity to donate $1,000 to its cancer-related charity of choice.

Management of cancer treatment side effects is among
the key roles of nurses caring for cancer patients. CINV,
CIA, and OM are among the most common and
distressing toxicities of cancer treatment. They
negatively impact patients’ quality of life and may cause
treatment delays and interfere with patients’ outcomes.
In this interactive game show symposium, a panel of
thoughtleaders in oncology supportive care, who are
cancer survivors themselves, will discuss key aspects of
CINV, CIA, and OM management. Appropriate patient
education will be highlighted.
