Mrs. Dany Bell is a trained cancer nurse and strategic advisor for treatment, new personalised medicine and genomics at the Macmillan Cancer Suppport, UK’s leading cancer charity organisation.
In this episode of your ONCOmmunity podcast, Mrs. Bell describes her work experience as a health care professional, the need for nurses to understand the relevance of genomics in oncology, and the integral role they play in educating and guiding cancer patients along their treatment journey.
“Over the last 10 years, we’ve seen a change in the treatment landscape of cancer patients. Thus, cancer nurses have to keep abreast of new drugs and new targeted therapies and also the side effects so, again, they know how to support people and also where people can seek help and support when they experience side effects.”
