Continuing Education Activities

The American Cancer Society Leadership in Oncology (ACS LION™) program presents a series of diverse bootcamps to support the expansion of high-quality, sustainable navigation. ACS and its partners are committed to providing navigation implementation support in several phases starting with Building Sustainable Navigation 101. This four-week bootcamp will support oncology practices in laying the groundwork for an effective patient navigation program.

In this roundtable discussion presented by AONN+ and supported by Exact Sciences, a panel of experts discuss the critical role of nurse navigators in educating cancer patients about genomic testing and how to interpret the results.

• Genomic versus genetic testing – What’s the difference?
• Benefits of genomic testing across different cancer types
• The role of nurse navigators in educating cancer patients about genomic testing
