Plenary 3: Professor Ray Chan

CNSA members have recently published research spanning workforce, care, and survivorship. Highlights include a national survey on the roles and responsibilities of radiation oncology nurses, quality indicators for head and neck cancer care, the impact of anal cancer treatment on female sexuality, neurotoxicity in CAR T-cell therapy, global childhood cancer survivorship, perceptions of pain care in Parkinson’s disease, and endorsement of a tool to assess cancer-related cognitive impairment impacts.

COSA has endorsed the Survivorship Care for People Affected by Advanced or Metastatic Cancer: MASCC-ASCO Standards and Practice Recommendations. The resource describes best-practice survivorship care for this group and has the potential to aid multiple stakeholders involved in planning and implementation.

Catch up on the latest from Cancer Australia, including the launch of the National Lung Cancer Screening Program, new scholarship and grant opportunities, and national efforts to improve care for children, young adults, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

You are invited to provide feedback to the Commission. Your input will help shape the new standards and ensure they are relevant, evidence-based, responsive to emerging challenges and innovations and outcomes-focused.
