Abstract
Recent advancements in oncology have significantly transformed cancer treatment and care management, offering new hope to patients worldwide. This literature review examines key therapeutic breakthroughs, including targeted therapies, immunotherapies, personalized medicine, and innovative drug delivery systems. These cutting-edge interventions have enhanced patient outcomes, improving survival rates and quality of life, but they have also introduced complexities in managing emerging side effects, care coordination, and resource allocation. This review discusses the implications of these therapies on patient care, the ethical considerations they entail, the management of side effects, and the pivotal role of oncology nurses in administering and managing these treatments. By exploring the current landscape and future directions of oncology therapies, including areas such as cancer vaccines and precision medicine, this article provides a comprehensive understanding of how these innovations are shaping the future of cancer care.
