This week, Kristin Daly, MSN, ANP-BC, AOCNP, a nurse practitioner in medical oncology at WashU Medicine in St Louis, Missouri, spoke with Oncology Nursing News about cancer care in the age of immunotherapy. As a nurse practitioner with more than 20 years of experience in oncology, Daly discusses all things immunotherapy, from pan-cancer therapy to biomarker-driven treatments, highlighting strategies for educating patients on how immunotherapy works. Daly, who treats patients with head and neck cancers, touches on common types of immunotherapies, how to handle adverse effects in the outpatient setting, and care planning for patients in rural areas. She shares helpful analogies for patient education as well as what she calls the “head tilt test,” which she uses to encourage patients to contact the clinic if a new symptom catches a patient’s attention.
