NCCN Pharmacy Updates: The Growing Impact of Pharmacogenomics Across the Oncology Landscape

March 18, 2024

Advances in pharmacogenomics are widespread in the treatment of cancer. The ongoing research in pharmacogenomics has played a vital role in the diagnosis and treatment of oncologic disease states. It is imperative for the interprofessional oncology care team to have a strong understanding of pharmacogenomics and the ability to correctly apply the standard of care for their patients.

Target Audience

This program is designed to meet the educational needs of pharmacists, physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician associates/assistants, and other health care professionals who manage patients with cancer.
