Description
Amanda Drury and co-authors mapped what nurses actually do in precision oncology, where cancer care is matched to a tumor's genetic profile, in a 2026 scoping review. Nurses guide patients through genomic testing and targeted drugs, yet the skills that work demands, and whether training supplies them, had not been charted.
Five databases were searched in July 2025 following the JBI method for scoping reviews. The team also hunted postgraduate and continuing courses aimed at nurses, using an artificial intelligence search of grey sources. The result is an inventory of roles, from consent talks to side effect coaching, set against the education on offer, and it shows where preparation lags behind practice.
