The practice of using combinations of drugs in chemotherapy is not new and continues to evolve to include immune checkpoint inhibitors. Drug combinations can be more effective than single-agent therapy and may also reduce the risk of developing resistance. However, combining multiple drugs may increase the risk of drug interactions. Please join Laura Wood, RN, MSN, OCN, Megan Price, MSN, APRN, FNP-C, and Virginia Seery, MSN, RN, ANP-BC, AOCNP, as they discuss how they have a conversation with their patients about the benefits and risks of using drug combinations in anticancer therapy.

Although chemotherapy is effective in combating cancer, its full benefits are often not realized because many patients do not take their medications as prescribed. There are many factors that contribute to poor medication adherence, including communication barriers, adverse events, and factors that are related to the therapy, such as prescription of complex drug regimens. Because barriers to medication adherence are complex and varied, solutions to improve adherence must also be multifactorial. Laura Wood, RN, MSN, OCN, Megan Price, MSN, APRN, FNP-C, and Virginia Seery, MSN, RN, ANP-BC, AOCNP, discuss their best practices to help patients adhere to their chemotherapy regimens.
