Clin J Oncol Nurs. 2020 Oct 01;24(5):575-578 Authors: Brennan-Cook J Abstract Polycythemia vera (PV) is a rare progressive myelo-proliferative cancer with significant symptom burden. Patients with PV often experience symptoms that adversely affect quality of life, work productivity, and functional status. Oncology nurses are well suited to assess for symptom burden and to provide educational interventions that support patients and their families. PMID: 32945792 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
