Key elements for the education and counselling of patients treated with oral anticancer drugs

The process of education and counselling of patients treated with oral anticancer drugs, aimed to achieve adequate self-management, involves different stakeholders (i.e. physicians, oncology nurses, pharmacists) from primary and secondary care. However, currently no guiding principles exist on how to organize and perform education and counselling for these patients. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to develop and build consensus on key elements for the education and counselling in patients on oral anticancer drugs.
