Clinical Nurse Consultant Support: Management of Patients With Melanoma Receiving Immunotherapy 
and Targeted Therapy
.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Targeted therapy and immunotherapy agents for advanced melanoma are associated with novel toxicities. Melanoma clinical nurse consultants (CNCs) provide multifaceted clinical care.
. OBJECTIVES:The objective was to evaluate the type of support, excluding clinic and inpatient care, provided by CNCs for patients not enrolled in a clinical trial.
. METHODS:A prospective review of CNC support provided during a 12-week period was conducted.
. FINDINGS:From May to August 2015, 105 patients attended clinic, and 72 received CNC support. Initial patient encounters with CNCs were documented (n = 150), as well as additional interactions (n = 291). The most common problem identified per initial encounter was symptom/drug toxicity. The most common therapy-related concern was related to anti-programmed cell death protein 1 immunotherapy and BRAF plus MEK inhibition. CNC interventions commonly involved clinical advice and counseling and care coordination.
