| Abstract: | Objectives: To identify the most common gastrointestinal toxicities and laboratory abnormalities associated with targeted therapies, as well as the assessment and management necessary to minimize adverse events related to these side effects. Data Sources: Peer-reviewed articles and national guidelines for oncology practice. Conclusion: Common toxicities of diarrhea, mucositis, and laboratory abnormalities are often associated with the use of targeted agents and require skilled assessment and early management interventions to prevent severe complications or treatment interruption. Implications for Nursing Practice: Emerging trends focused on targeted therapy increase the importance of the oncology nurse's role in assessment, education, and evidenced-based recommendations to meet patient needs. © 2014 Elsevier Inc. |
