Oral Anticancer Medication

Administration of chemotherapy is moving into the community as more and more therapies to treat cancer are being developed as oral medications. Patients taking these oral medications still require support, as many of these agents can be toxic. This support could be simple side effect management, compliance issues or even reassurance with regards to their diagnosis as examples. Community pharmacies are ideally placed within the community to help these patients. The purpose of this review is to determine what support community pharmacies are currently providing for patients taking oral anticancer medication and if there is a model that can be adopted or adapted to be used elsewhere. Searches were undertaken using two databases, Medline and Embase. Other evidence-based articles were discovered from other sources. The different services currently available from community pharmacies were largely varied. There are some key aspects to each which could be used in the development of a new model. Further research is required to determine the views of the patients, carers and community pharmacy staff.
