Abstract

Recently, cancer chemotherapy in outpatient chemotherapy unit has been progressively promoted, which is affected by improvement of supportive therapy, shortening of hospital stay, induction of comprehensive medicine, and political necessity. Whereas chemotherapy in outpatient chemotherapy unit has expected benefit to advance the quality of life, cancer patients sometimes feel some anxiety about their daily life and adverse events induced by anticancer agents. Moreover, in the setting of out patient clinic, the delay of adequate response against adverse events might be a serious problem. For the safety administration of anticancer agents and the enhancement of patient satisfaction in outpatient chemotherapy unit, multidisciplinary team approach should be essential. In this chapter, we outline the role of multidisciplinary team including nursing staffs in the outpatient chemotherapy unit in Tokushima University Hospital
