Description
Ding-Cheng Liu and colleagues test pharmacist led clinic care for lung cancer patients in Taiwan, in work from 2024. Targeted lung drugs often cause side effects that stop treatment and raise costs. Pharmacist teaching and symptom care in clinic visits may help patients stay on track through those effects.
Records covered patients who started one of three targeted drugs over five years. Forty patients used the pharmacy service, while close to one hundred did not. Skin side effects were logged more often in the service group, likely through closer checks. Monthly surprise clinic and emergency visits were clearly lower in that group. Emergency visit costs also fell, which supports the service value.
