In addition to understanding disease biology, the oncology nurse should have an understanding of the unique developmental, psychosocial, and medical and psychosocial needs of the young adult with MM. The oncology nurse will then be able to provide targeted education about the disease, its treatment trajectory, and supportive care issues, as well as advocate for therapies, and based on response, toxicities, while taking into consideration patient-centered needs.
