Deprescribing, the planned discontinuation of potentially inappropriate medications, can mitigate these risks. However, deprescribing interventions in oncology clinics remain understudied outside palliative care settings. This study aimed to identify barriers and facilitators to deprescribing in the oncology clinic across multiple stakeholder groups.</div></div><div><h3>Materials and methods</h3><div>Between November 2020 and August 2021, virtual focus groups were conducted with five key informant groups: patients (<em>n</em> = 9), primary care physicians (<em>n</em> = 7), oncology pharmacists (n = 7), oncology nurses (n = 7), and oncologists (<em>n</em> = 6). Participants were recruited from the University of Rochester Wilmot Cancer Institute, affiliated sites, and a patient advisory board. Semi-structured interview guides explored topics including polypharmacy definitions, medication communication, workflows, and deprescribing strategies. Sessions were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using inductive content analysis with MAXQDA software.
