Abstract

As cancer treatment shifts to a combination of oral and intravenous agents for systemic treatment, health care professionals must adapt with practice changes aimed at supporting patients and optimizing adherence. Moving toward a shared decision-making model or a personal systems approach is a potential mechanism to minimize barriers and enhance facilitators to oral treatment adherence. Additional research is needed to understand what works for patients and how health care providers can change systems and care strategies to support patients with the ultimate goal of improved patient care and outcomes.
